Disclaimer: This will not work if you cannot make an account (requires a Korean social security number).
I am not sure if people are aware, but www.ongamenet.com recently got a redesign. Along with the redesign, they decided to stop charging people for their live stream. This means that if you can make an account, you can watch OGN as much as you want, in good quality widescreen.
Go make some Korean friends now.

I always thought PlayPle, which provides, VOD/Live OGN, was operated by OGN. I haven't used it in near weeks because I have horrible internet but others have succeed with it. It's free and requires a Korean SSN or Foreigner ID number.
|
Can someone tell me why korean websites pretty much always require ssn? Is it for age verification or what? I can't think of anything else.

I need a Korean S.S., this is like a fat kid at pizza hut with no money.

They integrated playple into the ogn website. Before it was different and you had to pay on the site. (This could have happened anytime in the last 3-4 months). I don't / didn't know about playple before. (If it has existed for a long time and I have been paying money needlessly to OGN all these years, I will be choked )

What!? I need to call a korean friend asap. This is such a wonderful feature!
I'd even accept the same feature for 20-30 bucks a month.

Hohoooooo, time to call up a Korean friend and get a translation

Oh shit Mani, I'm sorry for you. I think I told about 3-5 people how to watch on playple so far; I didn't advertise openly because I'd get a stampede of PMs and it required a Korean SSN. I usually put one post in each LR I did on sending me for free, high quality streams (when I was in Korea).
Here was the original guide: it may be of some use; I'll check out OGN after school.
+ Show Spoiler +Install Korean.
First go to playple.com
Next to WHITE login on top-left corner, there should be three options. The left one and the middle one has a space, and the third one shouldn't. Click that one.
There should be three options once the page loads. Click the left one saying 14X XX XXX.
Now two long license and agreement form should be seen. Highlight the left one (I agree) for both. Under them, there is space to input Korean name and SSN.
Put name in the top box, with no space and then put Korean SSN in. Make sure the first two number of SSN is lower than 94. After inputting name and SSN, click the red box next to SSN box. It will verify the name and SSN.
Note that if you aquired the name and SSN from the internet, it most likely wouldn't work. Either continuously repeat the process, or get it from a Korean.
Well, since I already used my SSN, I can't access the next page. From what I remember, the first one is for ID, second one for nickname. Both of them have to be checked for registeration. Then it's password and repeat passworld.
After you have to put in name of a prefecture. Copy and put in one of the following, and there should be a list generated. Click the top one.
방이동 동부이촌동 역삼동 흑석동
Now it's phone number and cell phone number. For the first one, leave the area code to 02 and fabricate a phone number, and do the same for the cell phone number. I think that's all you need, maybe an email address.
If I was correct and you did it correctly, congratulations!
If not, oh well go ask another Korean.
Oh also to watch live stream IF you successfully registered, go to playple.com
Put in ID and password.
Press enter.
On the bottom right corner without there should be a blue patch(?) that says "LIVE" and "ch." in yellow and white respectively. That will open a new page.
Now there should be a button XXXX and a play button next to it (next to skyblue "ongamenet"). IIRC I didn't install anything. The stream should pop up~!
Happy streams.

Koreans use SSN for verification, but it's so useless. I know people who have minimum of 5 SSN, from his parents to random ones on the internet. Usually they use SSN+phone number, but since most teenagers have phones and parents don't know what charge is what on the bill, they basically have no limitation on sotes (just like US on porn sites lol).

Playple was around since, early 2008? Hope you didn't pay that much Mani.

Nono, i've been paying since 2003 so no big deal. I almost didn't post this because I felt sorry for everyone with "south korea" beside their nick, but if people can get access I thought it was worth it =\

So I'm trying to signup... got past the SSN... but it won't let me put in a fucking zip code! It brings up a "zip code search" and no matter what I type in (zip code.. address... whatever) nothing comes up!
Can anyone help?
This is the picture telling me what to do at the step...I put in a zip but nothing happens. It loads and shows nothing.

do wut i tell you on that picture. just copy&paste "신림동" and press the button. when you do, some choices will pop up in one way or the other. just click on any of them. and then put some random numbers like 306-24 in the next spot which most likely is "address 2" and tell me if this doesnt work.

it didn't work because you put zip code in the city search box. You are supposed to search a city you live in and select from closest matches from your search word.

So I tried it in internet explorer and it worked. Firefox was being all glitchy for some reason...
But even then I couldn't register for some reason . So... what can ya do?
|
tell what that reason is. if some error message popped up, let me see it.

Isn't it a bit ironic that Korea is the only place where Starcraft is on the TV, but you also need to be from Korea to see this stream? :D
