If you mean, can tourists use their WiFi equiped computer or iPad in Korea, the answer is yes - if they can find a connection. While some coffee shops still lock access to WiFi, very few require payment and one need only ask for the password. In some cases one has to have a Korean citizen's ID number to get the password, but not all.
Most hotels offer Wireless Internet Access - in some at, what some visitors have described, as a hefty user fee. Others offer the service free of charge.
Wireless access is pretty widespread in Seoul and almost everywhere else in Korea - it is generally free of charge and often requires no special password or ID. However, a number of popular venues require a Korean citizen ID number to access the free wireless service.
