This is very interesting. I saw Korea as a developed and quite free country. Reading the necessity of an ID for social media and dificulties of converting KRW to USD sounds really surprising. This would mean that it is so difficult to do arbitrage by sending money out of Korea, that the cost would equal 40-50%! In the case of Japan having a 20% higher price is understandable still... but 40-50% is really too much...
