In Korea, there are two sets of numbers, first, is native Korean numbers and the second one is the Sino-Korean numbers, which are used more in general.

Native Korean numbers are used for telling time ONLY for hours, amount of hours, amount of months and numbers for age.

Sino-Korean numbers are used for telling time ONLY for minutes and seconds, dates and months of the year, amount of money /currency, maths, measurements, phone numbers, addresses, floor of building and everything else.

If you are unsure which set to use, use Sino-Korean as most Koreans will understand what you mean.
