Question 15

Do I need to speak Korean to use LIT?

Question 16

How is LIT different from global luggage storage apps?

Accepted Answer

LIT is run by a local Korean team that verifies every store on-site — so you're far less likely to hit a wrong location or outdated hours, and each store page shows its verification date. You also get discount coupons for the very store holding your bags (participating stores), plus 4-language communication cards.
