I don't have enough time to check amidst this sea of questions or check all of the settings on cy, I have a quick question. Is it possible to change your name on cy? The one that is supposed to be your real name or nickname, it appears next to your birth date and whatnot. Like, for example, Heechul's says 'cinderella'

If possible, how do you change it?
Thank you.

^ Oh that I know 'cause I just changed mine. The "sample question" + email is a few pages back. Why do you want to change it though? because if it's reasonable, they'd change it for you but if it's not, then they won't.

I managed to change mine because I used the excuse "I want to write my name in Korean and not in alphabets". When my friend asked for me at first, the person replied saying it's not allowed. But a month or 2 ago I posted a question in here and someone was nice enough to help me, so I just copy and pasted her request and edited her name with mine and emailed cycop1@nate.com. They changed it within a day's time.

EDIT. HERE.

I emailed cycop1@nate.com and my email said this:

"저의 신분증을보시면 이름이 "Katherine Yujin Oh"로 적혀있어요.
Katherine 은 미국 이름이고요, Yujin [유진] 은 한국 이름입니다 (Oh [오] 는 성이고요)
지금 현재 싸이월드에서는 이름이 "Katherine Yujin Oh" 로 나오는대..
"오유진" 으로 바꿔주실수있나요? 감사합니다"

Oh, and I also sent my drivers license as an attachment for proof.

When the photo pop-up pops up, usually there's like a yellow temp. mini popup in the popup at the time. right click it and click on install.

You have to email them your i.d. They accept passports, state id, driver's license.. It has to have your picture, name, birthday.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! ^^ When I first joined I provided a nickname, but now I want to use 'Gaia', since it's my real name. I re-wrote the email as to fit my request, specifying that it was just a nickname, and I sent it just now with my ID. Hopefully they'll be nice~ thank you again! ^^

I'm in the process of making an account, but I find this is weird.. Korean Cyworld and US Cyworld aren't connected to each other right? I made a US Cyworld in the summer, but I don't use it that often. So today I decided to make a Korean one, but it says my e-mail (which I used for US Cyworld) is already registered.. but of course I can't login in the Korean Cyworld with it o_o;

[dr69on]

After registering,

I received a letter from <skacjfwn77@hanmail.net>
with the sub: [싸이월드] 페이퍼 메일이 도착했습니다.

and it has a button link to this page http://paper.cyworld.nate.com/money11



I dont know wat to do now... plz help

Korean Cyworld and US Cyworld aren't connected. And if you registered for US Cyworld, you'll need a different email address to sign up for the Korean one.

So you got this e-mail right after you registered?
Because what the subject says is..
[Cyworld] You just got a paper mail

The link is basically asking if you want loan (or something like that). I think you can just delete it and ignore it. I geuss it's like spam?

[amiga]

after sending in the identification stuff, when can i start logging in? ahh... my id looks kinda blur in the pic. >.<

[dr69on]

thanks for your help luckyyou.
Yeah i received it today and I registered 3 days ago.
I didn't see the approval message yet

[StarCrystal]

o-o I've tried customizing my minime and clicked on that confirmation button, but I get a pop up (sorry it doesn't seem to encode Korean O_o) and it just doesn't save. ;x Does anyone know what's wrong?

They have to approve it, so you'll get a 2nd e-mail after they've approved you or not. It took 24 hours for mine to get approved. The ID should clearly have your picture, full name and birthday.

thanks for your help luckyyou.

You did register as a foreigner right? After you registered, you were suppose to email cyclop1 (or something) with a valid id. Did you do that?

Even if you do it correctly, you get a pop-up saying your minime has been changed. Give it a few minutes and recheck it. If it still seems to not work, I don't know what it is. If you need help, you should try to get the Korean to work to see what your specific problem is.

Wait.... I didnt know I have to do that can u tell me more??

[luckyyou]

After you registered you got an email saying some stuff. In that email it said you must email them back with an id (driver's license, state id, passport are accepted). If you don't email them back with yoru id, your account will never bea ctiviated.

[dr69on]

but I have browse and upload my passport when I was registering.
Do I have to send them again and send to whom? What do I have to write in the email?
Thanks for your help Luckyyou

When you registered, I don't know if that part where you were able to upload a picture was asking for your id. I left it blank, I don't think it was saying for you to upload it there.

yeah that email basically says thanks for joining, and that they'll need to verify it's you and send them a copy of your id through email to cycop1@nate.com. Then they'll let you know again afterwards if you are activated or not. The id needs to be one of the following country id (or state id), passport, driver's license.

this might sound like a really stupid question but... how do you edit your photos on cyworld.com? O___O;;

When you go upload your picture, another pop-up will popup giving you the options to edit your picture. You can look at the tutorial.

one question. or two.
when you register///
is it necessary to put your real phone number?
can you make up phone numbers?

I would put one real number just in case. You have to type it in the Korean form though. I gave one real number and made up just some random numbers for the last 2.
