Parking is scarce and paid in cities, with public lots, building lots, and paid street zones, and apps like 모두의주차장 or T map help you find and pay for spots. Illegal parking gets fined or towed, so avoid yellow and red curb lines, fire lanes, and resident-only spaces. Apartments assign resident spots and usually require visitors to register at the security desk.
