Where should I setup a bank account in Sokcho?

"Expats considering retirement in Sokcho, should be aware that the city is known for its beautiful natural scenery, including mountains, hot springs, and beaches. They should also know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other Korean cities, but still higher than in many Western countries. Expats should be prepared to learn some Korean, as English is not widely spoken, especially among the older population. They should also be aware that the healthcare system in Korea is excellent and affordable, but it may be necessary to travel to larger cities for certain specialized treatments. The climate in Sokcho is relatively mild, with four distinct seasons, including a hot, humid summer and a cold winter. Expats should also be aware that Sokcho is a popular tourist destination, so it can get crowded during peak travel seasons. Korean cuisine is a major part of the culture, and Sokcho is particularly known for its seafood. Expats should be prepared to adapt to a different diet, although Western food is available. Finally, expats should know that the visa process can be complex and time-consuming, so it's important to start the process well in advance of the planned move. It's also worth noting that Sokcho is close to the North Korean border, which can occasionally lead to increased military activity and tensions," explained one expat living in Sokcho, Korea.
