1345 is the dedicated Immigration Contact Center hotline for foreign residents in Korea, staffed to answer questions about visas, stay status, registration, and general immigration procedures in roughly twenty languages. It exists specifically because navigating Korean bureaucracy in a second language is hard, so a caller can get guidance without needing fluent Korean or a trip to the immigration office.
911 is the emergency number used in the United States and several other countries, not Korea, where emergencies are instead handled through 119 (fire and ambulance) and 112 (police); 8282 is simply a playful numeric pun ('빨리빨리,' meaning 'hurry hurry') and not an official phone line.
Because 1345 covers everyday questions rather than emergencies, it is worth saving separately from 119 and 112 — many long-term foreign residents keep all three numbers in their phone from the day they arrive.
