Is there a Korean client? When I play late at night I always face opponents using the Japanese client, or sometimes rarely I think I've seen someone using the Chinese client, but I've never seen someone's profile say they're using a Korean client. Do Koreans that play use the Japanese client? Or is the server just not very popular with Koreans?

I believe that Koreans aren't very fond of KGS (and who can blame them with the amount of others bigger local servers they have), but i have seen some Koreans playing with a Korean client (an ex is Korondo 9d).

At the bottom of the KGS main page there are a bunch of flags which represent the languages KGS is available in. Clicking on one takes you to KGS in that language. Here's the direct link for Korean: https://www.gokgs.com/index.jsp?locale=ko_KR

Edit: I'm not sure how to set the locale to Korean in the Web-based client, but in the downloadable client, if you want Korean just click on "Configure" in the splash window that appears when you launch CGoban. You'll then see a menu where you can change your language.

Basically, the differences in the clients are in the language text. According to my some native speakers that I know, the Korean translation is not that great. But it's available as a language option.

Ah, okay, sounds like I'm just not ever playing anyone from Korea.
