Go to www.show.co.kr

A popup will appear as soon as you go to the website, and it has a picture of an iPhone. Click on the link below the picture.

In the upper right there is a button to "reserve" in Korean. There you go.

The catch is you need to register for Show, and they only accept Korean characters in the Name field.

Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

EDIT*

There is an option to buy the iPhone without "registering" for the website. ITs called "비회원주문하기". If you click on that, then you can proceed with the reservation.

Make sure you have a Korean present to help you with the process.

With the LIGHT plan:

32GB iPhone 3GS = 400,000w

16GB iPhone 3GS = 250,000w
!!!!!!!

With the Medium data 65,000w plan:
32GB 3gs = 260,000w
16gb 3gs = 130,000w


*EDIT 2*

Just finished reserving mine. Had to pay 30,000w to lock in my reservation. There was an option to go to the iPhone launch event on Nov. 28th, or just get the iPhone through the mail. If you aren't picked for the launch event, they'll send it through the mail anyways.

Can't wait to get it.

I just ordered one too. But when you got to the last part, after the payment went through and you had to type in ARC number one last time, (가입 신청서 screen), on the SHOW site, did it accept it? It won't accept mine, after I already got the confirmation that I paid. Evil or Very Mad

On the last screen I had 3 lines to input text.
First line was my name, 2nd line was my ARC number, and the 3rd line was a password. The password has to be alphanumeric.

Did you choose "3G폰으로 기변" for your phone number?

Not sure. I did it last night and I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing. Typical impulse buy.


Also, I noticed on the site today, they've updated it to allow Foreigner Registration.

Everytime I enter in my information (name, ARC, password) I get this error:

실명인증을 실패하였습니다

Anybody able to translate that for me?

Ya, thats what I was getting. It means you ID number and name do not match. I got it to work though. You need to enter your name EXACTLY as it appears on your ID card, CAPITALS and all.

There is no foreigner area. It just accepts our ARCs. Just make sure you use all capitals like i mentioned above.
