Korean Websites
- You may want to study the computers page first to learn general computing terms.
This page contains general terms used on most Korean websites. For help with a specific website, please scroll to the bottom of this page.
If a website doesn’t look correct and if you’re using anything other than Internet Explorer (IE), you may need to try going to the website again using IE. Many Korean websites only work well in IE, mostly due to the extensive use of ActiveX and other IE-only technologies.
