You only need a passport for a pay-as-you-go phone.

You need your passport, ARC and bankbook for a plan phone.

You'll have more luck saying "PPS" (pre-paid service) as that's what the Koreans generally refer to it as. But if you live in Seoul and really want to make it easy on yourself, just go and do it in Itaewon.
