Every link on this page is an official or widely used site that we opened and checked by hand on 7 October 2026. For each one we note how much of it works in English, any catch for foreign visitors such as Korean phone verification or foreign cards, and our own guide to that topic. Use the search box or the filters to narrow the list.
