Crypto payments make a useful alternative in situations like the ones below.
Card Declined
When a domestic card issuer blocks payments to certain overseas merchants or industries
Regional Restrictions
Overseas services where you can't sign up or pay with a Korean IP or card
Account Limits
When payments are delayed by transfer limits, banking hours, or overseas remittance restrictions
