Yeah, that's been happening to me, too, and it pisses me off.
Usually there's a link on the page to get back to regular Yahoo.com, but it seems to be in a different place each time.  |

It has nothing to do with the OS I wouldn't think. It is more likely the IP that is redirecting. MSN does this to me sometimes, and it is annoying to say the least. |

You would think so wouldnt you.. but either way, it doesnt redirect at home.. just here at work. |

Yahoo often has weird bugs.
My wife gets upset because it often loses the Korean font default, and she has to go into the Korean language menu to choose it again or something. It hasn't been doing that lately. Maybe Yahoo Korea just got tired of people complaining about the problem, and created some local re-direct. |

I have 2 yahoo email addresses therefore yahoo is set as one of my home pages (I have multiple tabs set)
about 2 weeks ago everytime I signed out of my email rather than the Yahoo home page coming up, the Yahoo K page would come up - it's still doing it 99.99% of the time!
it really pisses me off no end - and I've written a couple of complaints to Yahoo about it - K websites totally screw with one's computer not to mention the ad ware etc.
is totally annoying  |

Happens for lots of sites, including Google.
I just use a different English-speaking country domain... like .ca, for example, or .co.uk. |

I'm on a mac, recently switched over, if you or anyone else can recommend a spyware remover for macs (free download) I'd certainly like to use it.
I just downloaded and ran Titanium's Onyx program for macs and it cleaned up a lot but not whatever's causing the Yahoo K to switch on - is really a pain and visually displeasing, to say the least |

As far as my experience goes, Yahoo is the only site where this is now occuring.
Google comes up in Korean, but has a little English TAB option at the bottom right.
