Hello, I am a foreigner living in Korea. I am interested in opening a bank account here. Could you please tell me if foreigners are allowed to open Korean bank accounts? If so, what are the requirements and procedures? Also, I would like to know if there are any specific banks that cater more to foreigners' needs. Thank you for your help!
