네이버 - NAVER

My non-Korean internet was completely fine to create an account but when they told me to log in after email/phone verification, my network is now suspicious. I was locked out. Naver told me to just create a new one. Tried but then I never got the text to verify my number. Tried on my phone through wifi, cell data, on the dekstop, with and without a VPN. Nothing worked. Its unfortunate that everything pretty much gets booked through this app because foreigners can't make accounts.

Version: 1.16.0

Can't change username, can't hide username, cant make a nickname, can't make a new account with the same phone number which oh, just so happens to be required in the account creation that doesn't even work most of the time on a good day in the first place.

Version: 12.19.28

I had a very bad experience with NAVER. My account was suspended immediately after I created it, without any clear reason or explanation. I tried contacting the customer support, but my issue is still not resolved. Now I’m unable to access my account and cannot delete my personal information like email, passport details, and phone number. This feels unsafe and disappointing. The app also lacks proper English support, making communication difficult.

I honestly tried to use it, but it rejects my ARC, it rejects my bank account, it rejects my card - I am surprised this level of incompetence is allowed to exist.

I signed up while waiting for my flight to Korea. They banned me immediately. I assumed it was an honest mistake on their part. I found a form to contact the help desk. Phew! Relief! Surely humans will help me. Nope, they accused me of identity theft after I sent them my passport information. What's the point of this if you just accuse me of crimes? I tried to sign up with a new account and mobile verification never came. Would try again, but I am afraid they'll accuse me of kidnapping next.
