goddamn motherfucking Shinhan Bank app

My phone had a comprehensive system update a day or so ago, and all of my apps that were updatable also received updates which, in the case of my Shinhan Bank app, means that I needed to reenter all of my personal data again (which doesn't feel very safe or secure). Despite my having tried the re-registration procedure, which included scanning my (spanking new) ID card, I ended up getting a message saying it was too late in the evening for me to register. In frustration, I closed the app and have decided to just visit the bank and get help from a teller tomorrow. I feel like one of the many old people I see in the bank, often just as confused and flustered by procedures as I am (though for different reasons: in my case, it's my low ability with technical Korean; the old folks are just bemused by complexity). 

Well, we'll set it all right tomorrow. I hope. Talking to a human usually helps.
