Speaking of pension...(this is probably a stupid question)When we got the money we can use it, right? It's not like we have to wait until we're like 65 to use it?
It may depend on your visa too. F visa shouldn't be a problem, E2 may be an issue. But otherwise yes you can have it sent to a Korean bank, do you have an automatic remittance account? Also there is the airport pickup option too.

Are you saying that if you're on an F-visa, which is still valid, you can leave the country for a couple of months and can collect your pension each time you leave, IF you're from a country that has a lump-sum agreement with Korea?

Yes as long as you are not currently employed.
