When you'd hear it
This is common in both conversation and writing, but it sounds more polished and structured than a simple list with -고. Learners often meet it in presentations, explanations, news, and formal written Korean, as well as in careful everyday speech.
What learners get wrong
The second part often includes 도, but 도 is not part of the pattern itself. Unlike -고, which simply links two facts, -(으)ㄹ 뿐만 아니라 emphasizes that the second fact is an additional, somewhat unexpected point.
