Hｉ　Aｌｌ，

I am wondering which websites you use for registering Korean IDN names?
A list of the possible options / websites you use here would be great...

I am also wondering what people think of the potential legal owenership issues of someone holding the Korean side of the registration on our behalf as an intermediary (given that I understand you are supposed to have a Korean local presence to register any Korean IDN domains)?

Thanks in advance for your comments... cheers, Asiaplay

It's co.kr and I don't think you can do IDN in that, only in .kr

So the IDN websites selling .kr and .com.kr are spam / rip-off sites?

Interested to know.. cheers, Asiaplay

Who specifically do you see offering it Asiaplay? I see that e3internet.com is offering .kr and .kr.com IDN domains but I also see that they are offering .jp AND co.jp IDN domains. I'm pretty sure that this is wrong. .jp IDN is available but not co.jp

Are you a korean? If not, .kr is not an easy play, the most aggressive drop catchers, like vertical axis, are korean, and korean idns are among the most widely registered idn languages.

This despite low PPC (parking or adsense) and low traffic.

--> Severe competition + Low returns.

I'm now focusing on the chinese market (massive future market that will gamble anything under the sun - stocks today and idns tomorrow), and Japanese market (for adsense play).

Hi All,

Thanks for your replys...

Yes - was this website I saw offering... and was wondering if anyone had used them or someone else.

I was asking before I get a Korean friend to check other options in Korean for me.
I was considering if registration using a korean friend is a better option - hence the 2nd question (and there site says they can act as the legal representative for you).

No - I am not Korean and my idea is not for IDN investment... I want to get some specific ones for a website I am setting up (which is already in Korean language)...

Cheers - Asiaplay
