Rumors: KTF to market iPhone in South Korea?
Korea Times writes that KFT,with with help from NTT Docomo (which has recently made iPhone news), is still hopeful it will sell the iPhone in South Korea next year. Executive Vice President Kim Yeon-hak says that Steve Jobs has been playing hardball. The South Korean market is small and without a Japanese partnership, Apple may decline to offer the unit in Korea at all.

Yes and no.
Yes: LGT uses CDMA as its 3G technology
No: the two major mobile phone operators (SKT and KTF) have adopted HSPDA as their 3.5G preference.

That makes sense- both KTF and NTT DoCoMo have similiar networks with thriving 3.5G businesses. With the upcoming 3G iPhone, it'll be a matter of time before the iPhones are released in Korea and Japan.
