Internet Portal for Foreigners Debuts
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) has arranged the portal service, dubbed, "Government for Foreigners (G4F)," in coordination with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Labor.

Nah. Real Reality simply had a comma at the end of the address, messing up the first link:

If you start to go through the site, you'll soon realize that they didn't get someone in to proofread. THe language is understandable, but laughable too.

If you register on the site, be sure to enter your name exactly as it appears on your ARC.

Also, like was said above, some of the wording used on the site is really laughable. An example is for visa application:
Quote:
The place to apply : competent immigration office or branch office


Well, I guess that precludes us from applying at any office in Korea Wink

Some of it looks like they ran it through babel:

Quote:
Documents to apologize not to be employed in the area listed in Article 23, Item 3...

None of the Korean sites I have used work properly with Firefox. Annoying!

Use the IE tabs extension for Firefox. It allows you to open IE tabs within Firefox. Slightly less annoying than opening up a separate browser.
