Does anyone know if korean phones are already unlocked for use on other networks? Is it possible to use my phone on other networks once I have cancelled my contract?

I have a galaxy s2 lte 2 year contract with LG U PLUS, but have to break it because I am leaving Korea. If i recall correctly, they said that it would cost me 170,000 to break the contract. Anyway, I want to sell the phone after I break the contract to make up for the 170,000. So I just put an add up on craigslist to see if I could sell the phone for around that price, and the most common question I am getting is this:

Is the phone unlocked? Can it be used with other networks (SK and KT).

Thanks.

i'm fairly sure if you are switching operators and you own the phone that the phones either come unlocked or you can request the operator to unlock them. however, lg u plus uses different bands for most of their core frequencies than kt and sk do, so i think your s II lte will have to remain on lg u plus.
