Tourists Are Ordering Late-Night Fried Chicken Like Locals

Foreign visitors to Korea are using food delivery apps way more than before—orders jumped over 300% in the first half of 2026. Baemin, the country's main delivery platform, now accepts foreign credit cards and global payment apps like WeChat Pay and Apple Pay, plus it rolled out English, Chinese, and Japanese support with AI translation. With record tourism numbers hitting 10+ million visitors, it's clear that delivery apps have become essential to how tourists eat in Korea.
