It is true that Iphone have two different software for USA and Korean?
only thing I am trying understand that I accidentally bought her iPhone as American version and she told me that she want Korean IPhone version but I didn’t know that there two different software? But she told me that she can’t use American Iphone due that she can’t find American Credit card to exchange the Korean IPhone version?
it is true? If is then what payment can I use as American Credit card in order for her to get exchange iPhone Korean version. However, I do not want to use my debt card? Can I use gift card as credit card????? Please ASAP!

Is this perhaps a question of her not knowing how to change the language and the region on the phone?

There is at least one difference in the software between iPhones intended for sale in the U.S. and iPhones intended for sale in Korea. The Korean version doesn't let you turn off the shutters release sound for the camera; the U.S. version does let you do that. There may well be other differences.
Another important factor is that the warranty on an iPhone is restricted to the country in which is was purchased. So, if you purchase a phone in the U.S. and give it to someone in Korea, they would have to bring it to the U.S. if it ever needed warranty work
If you purchased the phone directly from Apple, you can return it within 14 days. However, you can't but the Korean version of the iPhone on the Apple Online Store in the U.S. nor are such phones available in U.S. Apple Stores. Also, you can't use a U.S. credit card to purchase something from the Apple Online Store for Korea. Gift cards are also limited to the region in which they were purchased.

Do you more details about exactly why she thinks the two phones are "different"? Aside from the camera shutter sound, the "software" should be the same. Both can be run in either English or Korean, for example and have the same apps.

You could see if one of those Visa gift cards can be used internationally. However, I'd be very careful and do lots of research before committing.

Then, unfortunately, it's unlikely anyone here would know what she means, either. Sounds like you need to have her explain it to you more clearly.
