Korean websites are such a pain in the ass in general because they require Korean national ID numbers and Korean credit cards. It's easier and maybe faster to have someone from back home send you some in the mail.
The other non-Korean Internet option is to go to a bank. Buy rolls of 10, 100 and maybe 500 won coins. Use those as chips. |

Gmarket is simple to use and doesn't require a national ID number. |

| Second floor of Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon. Right near the escalator. They have three sizes of those cool-looking nuclear launch code style metal suitcases. I think prices are 40, 55, and 70 000 won (I checked around Christmas last year). They also sell individual sleeves of chips and Bicycle cards. |
