How do I use Korean apartment search apps like Zigbang and Dabang to find housing as a foreigner?

Zigbang (직방) and Dabang (다방) are the go-to apps for finding rooms and apartments, and both have enough English to get by. You filter by area on the map, by deposit/monthly rent (전세 vs 월세), and by room type, and listings show photos, the deposit and rent, maintenance fee, and floor. A couple of tips as a foreigner: many listings are posted by agents, so the same place can appear multiple times, and you'll still go through a licensed realtor (부동산) to actually sign — factor in the agent commission. Always view in person, confirm the landlord's name matches the property registration (등기부등본), and for big deposits ask about 전세보증보험 (deposit guarantee insurance) to protect your money.
