What should I check when choosing a travel eSIM?

Check that the country or region you are going to is supported, that the price is clear for the data you need, which network you connect to locally, and that it installs easily with a QR code and has customer support in Korean. If you are visiting several countries, also check whether there is a regional (multi-country) plan.

Which is better, an eSIM or pocket Wi-Fi?

If you travel alone, an eSIM has the edge. Pocket Wi-Fi comes with a device rental fee, pick-up and return, charging and the risk of loss, while an eSIM goes straight into your phone and adds nothing to your luggage. If several people want to share one device, pocket Wi-Fi may be better.

Can I use an eSIM even if it is my first time?

Yes. If your device supports eSIM, you just scan the QR code you receive after buying and it installs. Finish the installation on Wi-Fi before you leave, and just turn on data roaming after you arrive. Setup steps for each device are in the "eSIM installation guide".
