🎯 There are nights during your Korea trip when you just don’t want to go outside

In this article, the YEPPURIKO team explains how to use Baedal Minjok for Japanese travelers based on the steps they actually tried during their trips to Korea.

The moment you get back to your hotel, you don’t want to step outside again.

On nights like that, many of you probably settled for convenience-store rice balls.

Korea's No. 1 food delivery app, 「ペダル民族（배달의민족）」, now finally supports orders from non-members.

Even travelers can now have authentic Korean chicken, jjigae, and gimbap delivered to their hotel without registering as a member.

🎯 Being able to verify with a Japanese phone number is a major advantage

Until now, the biggest obstacle to ordering delivery in Korea was the requirement for a Korean phone number.

With non-member orders on ペダル民族, SMS verification works with a Japanese phone number (+81).

Since registering as a member is not required, all you have to do is download the app and enter your number.

The fact that “travelers can use it too” greatly expands your dining options when visiting Korea.

🎯 The ordering process is much simpler than you might imagine

Many people get stuck when entering their address, but there is also a workaround here.

Enter the hotel name in the search bar, and the address in Korean will appear automatically.

Simply copy and paste it to complete the entry. You don't need to be able to read Hangul.

✅ Choose from 2 delivery options

The cheapest option starts at around 90 yen, and the standard delivery time is approximately 20–30 minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can also choose the faster option (from around 190 yen). Please use these figures as a reference, as they may vary depending on the area, season, and exchange rate.

Payment at the end is by credit card. There is one thing to note here.

Coupons distributed within the app are for members only, so non-members cannot use them.

Assuming there is no discount and budgeting for the regular price plus the delivery fee will make the payment process smoother.

🎯 The significance of having an option besides “eating out”

Travel schedules for Korea tend to be packed.

After spending the evening exploring Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Seongsu, you may not have the energy left to look for a restaurant.

At times like that, simply having Baemin turns your hotel room into “another Korean gourmet space.”

Enjoy chicken with beer, or have jjigae while watching TV. You can save your energy while adding to your food experience.

From here on, your dining plan for trips to Korea—previously limited to “eating out only”—will begin to change.

🎯 Key Points to Know Before Using It

✅ Points to Prepare in Advance

For peace of mind, download the app over Wi-Fi before traveling to Korea. Phone number verification works with your Japanese number (+81) as is.

✅ What to Check at Your Accommodation

Depending on the hotel, you may be instructed to receive deliveries in the lobby. To make things go smoothly on the day, check once at check-in whether “delivery orders are accepted.”

🎯 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Can I use coupons?

A. Coupons cannot be used for guest orders. Registering as a member will allow you to use coupons, but if you are a traveler, it is safest to calculate the cost based on the regular price plus the delivery fee.

Q. How should I enter my address?

A. Enter the hotel name in the search bar, and the address in Korean will be displayed automatically. You can copy and paste it as is, so there is no problem even if you cannot read Hangul.

Q. What payment methods can I use?

A. Credit card payment is the standard option for guest orders. It will be smoother if you prepare a card that can be used overseas.

Q. Can I really verify with a Japanese phone number?

A. Yes, SMS verification works with a Japanese number starting with +81. Since membership registration itself is not required, you can simply install the app, enter your number, and proceed with your order.
