South Korea mobile proxies for Naver mobile search and app testing
Korean carrier exits on SK Telecom, LG U+ and KT, priced per GB from $3.99 to $2.19. Two thirds of Korean handset lines run on 5G, and Naver answers most searches typed on a phone. Add -cc-kr to a mobile login and keep one exit for up to 6 hours.
Handset lines on 5G68.6%
Of 57,588,596 handset lines at the end of July 2026, by the Ministry of Science and ICT’s count. 3G is down to 0.5%.
Phone searches on Naver59.56%
StatCounter, September 2026. Google took 35.77% of Korean mobile searches.
Android share on phones60.67%
Mobile page views in Korea, October 2026 (StatCounter); iOS had 39.32%.

Hold a Korean carrier exit for up to 6 hours, or rotate with every request.
Who is on the other end
How Koreans browse and search on a phone
Phones made 47.83% of Korean page views in September 2026 and desktops 51.14%, StatCounter says. The engine changes with the screen. Naver took 59.56% of mobile searches that month and Google 35.77%, while Google leads on desktop. Rank reports for Korean phone users should come from Naver result pages requested over a phone network.
Android ran 60.67% of mobile page views in October 2026, iOS 39.32%. Mobile browsing splits four ways: Safari 34.45%, Chrome 33.56%, Samsung Internet 18.65% and Whale 11.55%. Samsung Internet and Whale together hold three page views in ten, a group that a test plan with only Chrome and Safari never sees.
KakaoTalk counted 49.1 million monthly users in Korea, and kakao.com is among the ten most visited sites. Desktop search and household lines have a page of their own: South Korea proxies.
4G and 5G
Two in three Korean handset lines are 5G
The Ministry of Science and ICT counted 57,588,596 handset lines at the end of July 2026. Virtual operators hold 10.50 million of them, and 9.63 million of those are on 4G.
MSIT, wired and wireless subscriptions, 31 July 2026. The figures describe Korean lines in general. An IP lookup does not record which radio carried a request, so exits cannot be sorted into 4G and 5G by address.
Carriers
SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ in an IP lookup
All three operators sell home broadband as well as phone lines. A sample of 12 Korean exits on 26 October 2026 had five on SK Telecom’s AS9644, four on LGTELECOM’s AS17853 and three on Korea Telecom’s AS4766. KT runs its home lines on the same AS4766.
| Carrier | ASN in a lookup | Handset lines, July 2026 | Share of Korean users | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SK Telecom | AS9644 | 39% | 10.95% | 94.1% |
| KT | AS4766 | 23.3% | 46.70% | 14.7% |
| LG U+ (LGTELECOM) | AS17853 | 19.5% | 7.02% | 76.9% |
| Virtual operators (MVNOs) | Varies | 18.2% | Not listed | Not listed |
Handset line shares: Ministry of Science and ICT, 31 July 2026. User share and IPv6: APNIC Labs, 24–25 October 2026, measured across Korean internet users, home and mobile. LG’s fixed lines show up as LG POWERCOMM, AS17858. Korea as a whole is 29.4% IPv6-capable.

For developers
Keep a Korean exit only when the carrier checks out
A Korean mobile login takes the country key and a session; carrier keys exist for the US, the UK and Germany. The loop asks for a sticky exit, matches the ASN against the three carriers and returns the proxy URL that passed.
import requests, uuid
GATE = "gate.aeonproxy.com:7000"
CARRIERS = {"AS9644": "SK Telecom", "AS17853": "LG U+", "AS4766": "KT"}
def korean_carrier_exit(tries=5):
for _ in range(tries):
key = uuid.uuid4().hex[:10]
proxy = f"http://ap_a1b2c3-cc-kr-sid-{key}-time-3600:PASS@{GATE}"
info = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30).json()
carrier = CARRIERS.get(info.get("org", "").split(" ")[0])
if info.get("country") == "KR" and carrier:
return proxy, carrier, info
raise RuntimeError("no Korean carrier exit in %d sessions, run it again" % tries)
proxy, carrier, info = korean_carrier_exit()
print(carrier, info["ip"], info["org"])
# SK Telecom 223.32.XX.XX AS9644 SK Telecom
# reuse the proxy URL: every request below leaves from that exit until -time-3600 runs out
r = requests.get("https://www.naver.com/", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30)KT serves home broadband on AS4766 as well, so a KT exit can be a household line. Remove "AS4766" from the dictionary when only a phone network will do. Sessions run from -time-60 to -time-21600.

Buy Korean mobile proxies by the GB
Once a purchase reaches a tier, that tier’s rate applies to all of it, and unused GB stay on the account.
| Traffic you buy | Price per GB | For example |
|---|---|---|
| 1–9 GB | $3.99 | 5 GB for $19.95 |
| 10–49 GB | $3.49 | 10 GB for $34.90 |
| 50–99 GB | $3.19 | 50 GB for $159.50 |
| 100–249 GB | $2.89 | 100 GB for $289.00 |
| 250–499 GB | $2.59 | 250 GB for $647.50 |
| 500–999 GB | $2.39 | 500 GB for $1,195.00 |
| 1,000+ GB | $2.19 | 1,000 GB for $2,190.00 |
Residential is $3.49 → $1.69 per GB, $0.50 below mobile at each tier. The trial’s current terms and the other products are on pricing.
A Korean quirk
In Korea a phone line comes with an identity check
On 30 June 2026 the Ministry of Science and ICT announced that face checks would be phased in from 6 July 2026, first when someone opens a new line or moves a number to another carrier, at the three operators and at virtual operators (Newsis, 30 June 2026). A customer who declines can use the government’s mobile ID instead, or a resident registration abstract issued that day. The same plan makes the subscription restriction service a default part of phone contracts from November 2026.
The same three carriers run PASS, one identity service for all their subscribers since they merged their separate services into it in June 2018. A subscriber can log in to apps and websites with a phone number and confirm it with a fingerprint, an iris scan or a six-digit password (Korea JoongAng Daily, March 2020).
A proxy changes only the IP address a site sees; a phone check like these stays with your own handset and line. A Korean mobile exit is for accounts you already hold.

Korean law for data work on a phone connection
The Personal Information Protection Act governs personal data and the Personal Information Protection Commission enforces it. In August 2025 the commission fined SK Telecom ₩134.8 billion over the leak of its subscribers’ USIM data. Keep names, phone numbers and addresses out of what you collect.
Article 48(1) of the Network Act forbids entering a network without permitted access or beyond it. Reading that article in decision 2021도1533 of 12 May 2022, the Supreme Court held that the service provider sets access rights and that its protective measures and terms are judged together. It upheld an acquittal over data collected through an app’s API that had no protective measure.

South Korea mobile proxy questions
A carrier address in Korea that your requests leave from, on SK Telecom, LG U+ or KT. Use one when a check should look like a Korean phone user: Naver results on mobile, app and mobile ad checks, accounts you own. Price collection at volume on Coupang or Gmarket is cheaper on residential traffic.
Korea has no published mobile count. Exits come from SK Telecom, LG U+ and KT, and the dashboard’s Mobile page shows what is on offer. Our sample of 12 Korean exits on 26 October 2026: five on SK Telecom’s AS9644, four on LGTELECOM’s AS17853 and three on Korea Telecom’s AS4766.
The gateway has carrier keys for the US, the UK and Germany only, so not in Korea. Each Korean exit names its carrier through the ASN: AS9644 is SK Telecom, AS17853 is LG U+ (registered as LGTELECOM) and AS4766 is KT, and the Python tab keeps or drops an exit on that basis.
Korean handset lines are mostly 5G: 68.6% at the end of July 2026, with 31.0% on 4G and 0.5% on 3G (MSIT). Virtual operator lines are mostly 4G. No IP lookup shows the radio a request travelled over, so exits cannot be filtered by generation.
From $3.99 per GB for 1 to 9 GB down to $2.19 per GB from 1,000 GB, the same ladder as every other country. The tier rate covers the whole purchase and the GB do not expire. Pricing has the trial terms and the other products.
Six hours at most. The login holds an exit while -sid- carries the same key, for the number of seconds in -time- (60 to 21600). Change the key and you get a new exit; drop it and requests rotate.
Start from the target. Coupang prices, Gmarket listings and desktop Google suit household lines: 40K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026, at $3.49 → $1.69 per GB. Naver on a phone, app tests and mobile ads point to a carrier exit, at $0.50 a GB more per tier.
Open the generator on the dashboard’s Mobile page and pick Korea: it lists the regions and cities on offer for mobile. City placement is where available, so look the exit up in the IP checker first.
Two laws come up for data work: PIPA, which governs personal information, and Article 48(1) of the Network Act on access beyond what a service permits. Keep to logged-out public pages and accounts you own, within each platform’s rules. Not legal advice.
Yes, for accounts you own and within each platform’s rules; keep one sticky session per account while you work. Identity checks by phone, such as PASS, run on your own handset and line, and the proxy plays no part in them.
Free proxies come with no terms and no named operator, and whoever runs one can watch unencrypted traffic. Before trusting any address, put it into the IP checker: it shows whether the address sits on a Korean carrier or on a server.
