Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baedal Minjok, announced on the 31st that starting from June 2, it will expand its Apple Pay payment service to include overseas-issued credit cards (VISA, Master, JCB, Amex).

Apple Pay is Apple's simple payment service, and until now, Baedal Minjok only accepted Apple Pay payments made with domestically issued cards, making it difficult for foreign customers to use Baedal Minjok through Apple Pay. With the expansion of payment options, foreigners visiting Korea will now be able to conveniently experience K-delivery culture.

In fact, the number of orders placed through overseas payment methods on the Baedal Minjok app has been steadily increasing. In the first quarter of this year, the number of delivery orders using overseas payment methods rose by approximately 3.7 times compared to the same period last year. In April, the payment amount made through overseas payment methods increased by about 14 times year-on-year.

Choi Seong-gil, Head of the Payment Settlement Product Division at Woowa Brothers, said, "Along with multilingual service support, we hope that by enabling Apple Pay overseas card payments, foreigners visiting Korea will be able to experience the country’s food delivery culture more conveniently."

Baedal Minjok supports English, Chinese, and Japanese services by applying large language model (LLM)-based generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology. On the 21st, the company also released an English version of the "Easy Guide to Using the Delivery App" to enhance accessibility for foreign customers.
