I've seen it mentioned a couple times and chalked it off as one of those things I'd never know cuz of not speaking Korean and all.
Just out of curiosity, what is 'taekpe' and how does it work?

Taekbae is just Korea's domestic parcel service.

I learned that word from the grandfatherly security guard phoning the Batphone in my apartment at 7:00 am on a weekend, yelling that word over and over.

When I came downstairs to see what the deal was, I was rewarded with a nice package from home, so I was positively reinforced. Will never forget that word now.

Taekpe, is composed of two Chinese Characters.

Taek, Meaning get out of the the way you low life pedestrian scum.

Pe, Meaning this delivery of exercise videos is much more important than your miserable life.

I got this information from the official Korean Delivery Driver's Handbook,
Page 2. Just before the Chapter on "How to make by Bongo roadworthy with masking tape"
