| I get around 5 a day, is there anyway to make it stop? It's in Korean too, so I don't know what it's saying. |

the best I seem to be able to do on my phone is set a number as spam, then my phone always ignores that number. |

| Most of the messages don't have a callback number. |

There really isn't anything you can do. The phone companies are cutting back on the amount of text messages that can be sent from each account per day (5000 from 10,000 iirc), but they just use multiple accounts.

| I keep getting messages that say "I want you to do that thing you did to me the other night" but I don't know which female could be sending them. Should I just consider them as spam? |

| Yup. I get an update of the KOSPI index every day at 10.30am and 4.30 pm. On the dot. |

What normal person sends 5000 text a day that ISNT spamming?! Even that's a large number.
I realize that a business like a bank or information service might send mass texts, but surely such a high-tech country would have a solution to this spam issue. |

Why not just make spam messages illegal... it's not exactly hard to find out which company are sending the messages since they are advertising for their services.
I get some spam messages sometimes, but it has become less and less. I would guess I get one every second week in average now while I used to get a couple a week. |

It's hard to ignore when it wakes me up at 8 in the morning everyday. |

Man, typical Dave's ESL Cafe comment. I use my phone as an alarm clock for 9 am. The spam wakes me up at 8, it's annoying, that's all there is too it. |
