UPDATE: NEW ONLINE TUTORIAL AVAILABLE BELOW (3/16/08)

NOTE: As of July 2008, I can no longer provide any support for any special/personal requests including how to sign up for a Cafe. As a full-time college student and worker, I just don't have time available to spare. However, this tutorial will remain here and be updated as needed.

What is Daum? [A01]

Daum (다음) is a very popular online service in South Korea. It provides free email, instant-messaging, forums, shopping, news, and most notably, Cafes. The Cafes provide a luxury of media that's hard to find elsewhere, including videos, pictures, etc.

Unfortunately, Daum's registration for foreigners is not very friendly to those who don't know a lot of Korean. So whether or not you don't know any Korean or you just have a small question, feel free to find what you want from this thread. So let's begin then!

Click here to visit the Daum Registration Page. Follow the directions below to complete registration:

Registration [A02]





(ABOVE) After you click the light-blue button (STEP 3), you will need to provide a valid cell-phone number.

IMPORTANT! If you do not live in the United States, you will probably need to enter a different country code. If you live in the United States, then 1 is fine.



This will send an automated call to your phone. Pick up your phone and you should hear the voice of a woman speaking in Korean. She will be telling you a code in Korean which you must write down. If you didn't get the code the first time, simply dial 1 on your phone and the message will replay.

Use the key below to help you pinpoint what numbers are being spoken:



You then need to type the confirmation code into a blank field that should have appeared below the field where you typed your phone number in. Make sure you enter the number correctly, or your phone number may get blocked from registering again!



Hit this button afterwords: . If all goes well, you should be transferred to the next step...


(ABOVE) For the Name (Korean) field, you will need Korean IME if you're using a non-Korean computer.

FAQ [A03]

Does the automated voice that calls speak in Korean?

Yes. If you are a bit sketchy on knowing your numbers in Korean, I recommend that you find a way to record the message and translate it right after. WARNING: Dialup users MUST use a mobile phone to receive the automated code. If you choose to disconnect your dialup connection to receive the code, you will be required to restart registration.

What's taking you so long to update?

Sorry people. I've been kind of busy with college

Until I find time to make a more refined tutorial on how to sign up for the Cafes, here's a post by a Soompier that may help you. Thanks tiki_sg!
