Q. What kind of payment do you use the most?
I'm an outdated/old-fashioned person. So, I tend to pay with a debit card. I know many young people pay with virtual cards such as Apple Pay, SamSung Pay. I'm not familiar with such things. By using one debit card, you can tell if you waste money. This is because if you pay with a debit card, money will be withdrawn from my savings account any minute. If I don't have enough money in my savings account, I don't pay with a debit card whenever I'm dying to buy it. It helps me save money. My husband doesn't carry any wallet and bags. He only takes his phone and a card. He doesn't even carry identity cards.
Q. Do shops in Korea also take gift cards?
As far as I know, most shops take gift cards. In Korea, gift cards of Kakao are availble in all stores except for some tranditional markets, they only accept cash. On the other hand, I haven't seen anyone paying in cash at the market. I sometimes pay with gift cards that I've received from my families and friends for my birthday. I'm happier to receive gift cards than gifts. A few days ago, there was on fire at the Kakao company. It caused all Koreans to stop everything. Kakao has been a giant company in just a few years. They should've taken precautionary response. They deserve to be blamed. The move to sue Kakao should be a wake up call for the warning they should be careful and take a good action for emergency.
Q. Where do you usually buy groceries, online or in the mart?
I'm old-fashioned. It is more convenient for me to go grocery shopping in the mart. I want to see and smell stuff in person. Some people said on-line shopping is cheaper than off-line shopping. But, I don't agree with it. Off-line mart often give discount events. On-line shopping has a lot of inconveniences, such as waiting at least 2~3 days and being cumbersome/being too much of a hassle to refund if you don't like it.

Q. What would you say to your co-workers who said they like what you are wearing?
I would say, "How nice of you to compliment my outfit". I tend to wear suits when I work. It's easier to choose a suit than casual clothes when you dress every morning. Suits have less options.
Q. Is there someone you want to receive a call from?
Yes, I wait for a call to go back to work from my company. It is my long awaited call. I don't feel like going to work but I'm running out of my savings now.
