In the age of mobile phones, even bribery is going mobile.
According to the Donga Ilbo, with Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) approaching, some parents are sending teachers "white envelopes" (cash) via mobile phones.
SK Telecom, the country's largest mobile carrier, operates Giftcon services that enable a person to send a gift certificate of up to 500,000 won through a text message. The receivers can use it for purchases.... |

| Or make sure the teacher and "hakpumo" aren't using SK for their cell phone service! But, hey, props to SK for helping out the Prosecutor's Office in advance. |
