I can understand your predicament, though I've been lucky and fortunate not have gone through as big of a problem as you're currently going through.


A word of caution though, don't draw too much attention (or at all) to the Korean banks, because it IS illegal to be gambling online out here. Now, a ton of Koreans these days do in fact gamble online, but you being a foreigner, you don't want to get tangled-up in that web (it's not so much you, but you're under contract therefore the responsibility of the Hogwan/Institute owner who could potentially get fined for HEAVY bucks... and the right authorities would DEARLY love to get a big fat reward with enough of a reason).


I seem to recall that there is a method of getting your bills authorized/printed-out in English, although you have to pay the extra fee to have that done. Not fun... Your best bet is to go to a local KT (Korean Telecom) or SK (Telecom) branch (there are a TON of these branches scattered around in each city), and see if they can help you out there.


If you've ever had mail forwarded to your current address in South Korea, that should be helpful. It's gone through the U.S. Postal Service, AND there should be a sticker with your current address on it. To be honest, I recall having a withdrawal problem with Fortune Lounge, and they needed some verification. That was helpful at that time.


Good luck!
