I’m going to Korea for a weekish in January and I’m not looking forward to having to carry around a load of cash everywhere. I have a local prefecture only bank account and getting a debit card means doing backflips and somersaults which I don’t have the time and/or energy for. Im planning on getting a Sony bank account or JP Post soon but I’m not sure it’ll be ready on time. (still waiting for my MyNumber card – I’m new to Japan).
Anyway my point is, does anyone have experience and/or suggestions for prepaid or temporary cards to use in Korea, I have found an option with the Gaica card but I’m not sure how that works. If all else fails i’ll stick with carrying cash but last resort would be that.

Just get a metro card in Korea and charge it? I remember using it like a SUICA in stores.
