Maybe I live in Korea...but I moved to the US...
Boom. Come at me.
You need a Korean Social Security Number to play online games in Korea, meaning that unless you're a Korea, then you're SoL. If you have a Korean friend, you could ask him or her to make an account, but account sharing may be a violation of BHS's ToS. If you do not, then you will have to go through shady and rather illegal methods to play the game that should not be discussed on these forums.
There are ways to play the Korean Version. They even have Translators for you to Add-on too the Korean games. Ive played KTera for a month and i really enjoyed it. But too be honest the sociability was the problem for me. I cant get into a group if i dont know how to talk to other players. Fortunately i talked to some Korean players that knew English and enjoyed my month of KTera a lot. But my suggestion would be try your best to just push through the week till each CBT's Release is only a mere 75 days away.
Reason i say wait is because. Trying to get to a site that sells KTera is hard. Sometimes you might be getting into a scam site. Other times you are not. My reason i stopped playing KTera was because i ended up mis spelling my password 3 times. If you end up doing that you have to use the Social Security number to get your account unlocked. Thing is nobodys going to give you that number. They will just set up the account for you and tell you how to get on it. Its just a LOT of effort for something you might end up not enjoying. Lastly i ended up paying a total of $90 after i bought the game and the month of game time on the site that i found. each month of gametime after that was $30.00
Regardless i did enjoy my time and met some great Korean people...but i dont think id end up doing it again.
Why make a thread about this, do what you want.

You'd probably spend less playing K-Tera for 3 months than you would taking your date out on Valentine's Day.
Sad truth.
Guess really depends on the person i mean 3 month is like 75 dollar so idk, going out to dinner for 2 could go lot less than that lol
