I have heard about group buying deals and auction sites in Korea where you can get really good discounts. How do these work? Which sites should I use, and are they safe for foreigners?

Coupang, Gmarket, and Auction (auction.co.kr) are the big platforms for deals, and Naver Shopping is great for comparing prices across sellers. For social commerce and group-buy style discounts, WeMakePrice and Coupang's deals are popular, and they're safe as long as you pay through the platform's own system. The one rule is to never move off-platform to a direct bank transfer, since that's where scams happen.
