So, has anything good happened in Korea in the last 10 years?

How about not requiring a damn Social Security / Citizen ID at all for such simple services!

They do for some.

Didn't matter for my gf. There was a guy who stalked her for years after university. He'd ride her buses to the opposite end of Busan just to be near her. He'd literally follow her around anywhere, if given the chance. She's never made a cyworld because of that guy.

The best one was that he sent her 1000 roses at work. She happened to be out of the office, and someone called her to tell her that she had received a friggin massive order of roses. She asked her coworker to read the name on the card, and it was his. She promptly told them to trash them immediately, and she never actually saw them.

He somehow knew her ID number, and created accounts at various websites with it. She happened to find this out once when she went to apply to a popular Korean site. She contacted the site, and they gave her the e-mail set to it, and the password to the account. Well, the same password worked on his e-mail, and that's how she figured out it was him. She also found he had created other accounts using other people's names (women). She found out who they were and contacted them.

The government's plan to force people to use ID numbers to register on sites is a shining example of Klogic. Oh, Korea..

I'm using my wife's ID so I can have a Daum membership. This is because their thoughtless web design doesn't allow for foreign ID numbers. I guess that means I'm a lawbreaker.

So it works for one person but not another - what a very Korean situation!

IIRC, the reason it worked for me is I clicked the little button where it asked me (in Korean, of course) if I wanted to register as a foreign resident. I went through the same thing when I registered on the Megabox Cinema site.
