I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on the matter.

The deadline to pay my gas bill was last Thursday so I missed it by about 2 business days. Just wondering what kind of late fees I should be expecting on a 20,000 won bill? I have never forgotten to pay a bill before, it just slipped my mind this week, so I'm not sure how much they charge. Also will the fee just be tacked on to next months bill? Thanks

Maybe 5,000 won, tops. Fear not. I once didn't get a bill and didn't notice it right away. By the time the next month's bill came, I saw that they'd added that balance and about 5,000 won as a late charge.

I believe they usually charge a percentage, but it's very small. My apartment management fee, for example, seems to be 2%. So if I'm late paying my bill of 150,000 won, the late fee is just 3,000.

Good to know, I was expecting it to be around that much, seems fair. Thanks for the info.

Mine was 50 (o-baek) 0,050...I repeat 50 cents in US dollars for paying a month late. Late fees in this country are a joke. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving every bit of it.

My apartment charges 10%. Then again, it's a cheap apartment.
