According to Digital Chosunilbo, YouTube's new Korean platform got off to a bad start on its first day on Thursday, when users where found the service falling short of their expectations.

"YouTube is the world's largest video sharing website, with about 70 million video clips and 10 hours of new clips being uploaded every second - but the dominant language on the site is English.

Koreans have long enjoyed video sharing websites and thus have highly-developed tastes. Most Koreans in their teens and 20s, who are the primary users of the Internet, have a hard time communicating in English. Others say that the video quality is poorer than that of domestic sites."
