Of course, Yes. By Broadband Effects, there are many video sharing services in Korea. I introduced some profiles for sharing user-generated videos.
As following chart shows a traffic korean video sites for one year. Pandora.tv rapidly increased unique visitors rather than others. Many users suddenly have used video sharing sites since January, 2006.

This is an effect of portal video service such as Naver Play and Daum TVPot. All video sites contracted portal site and offered their content into them. Users recognized personal video service from portal video service.
You can read profiles famous video sites, Pandora.tv and BeeDeo.com in KoreaCrunch.
The DioDeo.com is an another site to offer audio and video files together. It means a mix of au”dio” and vi”deo”. It has been offered video community since 2000. May it’s first personal video service in Korea.
The Mncast is the latest start-up video service by a university students. It has common style of YouTube and acquired by Damoim, korean school community. It made Aura, a multimedia site with MNcast.
Because of success of video service, major portals are interested in video contents, so they started upload services such as Daum Videolog.
