The main page of “BuyTheKorea”
“BuyTheKorea” Item Request page
Buythekorea offers variety of services including online shopping for consumer electronics in competitive prices and opening of accounts for internet and cell phone.
For the convenience of foreigners, Buythekorea provides its service entirely in English, everything from product description to confirmation mail or mobile text messages, and most of all, its users are not required to enter Korean resident registration number unlike most of other Korean websites. Additionally, Buythekorea tries to make the payment procedure much easier for foreigners by taking all internationally accepted credit cards which are not generally accepted in other websites in Korea. In order to figure out the demand patterns of foreigners, Buythekorea is currently running ‘Item Request’ service where customers can request for items that are not sold at the web site.
“Despite the fact that more and more foreigners are coming to live in Korea, many of the basic services are very inconvenient for foreigners to use. Trying to resolve those problems and difficulties that foreigners go through, I came to open Buythekroea to serve their unattended needs and to also bring more positive web experience in the web environment of a country that claims as an IT nation.” Andy Kim, the representative of Buythekorea, said.
According to Ministry of Public Administration and Security of Korea, the number of foreigners residing in Korea (more than 90 days) was 722,686 as of April 2007, showing a 35% increase since a year before. The Ministry predicts that the number will soon reach 1 million in the near future.

Buy The Korea 개요
“BuyTheKorea” is a online shopping store built in May 2008 only for “foreign residents in Korea”. “BuyTheKorea” is born from the initial ideas that there is clearly a lack of support available to foreigners settling into Korea while its number has been leaping every year. Unlike most Korean website “BuyThe Korea” is all English service website so all of its service such as product description, purchase procedure, confirmation emails and SMS etc. are all in English. Also, “BuyTheKorea” accepts global credit cards and customers do not require Korean resident registration number for online shopping so foreigners can enjoy much more convenient online shopping. Furthermore, customers can require additional desired items through “Item Request” page and then, those items can be seen on the website within 1 to 2 weeks
