A Korean politician, Kim Tae-hwan, of the Grand National Party, noted that "Korean wireless providers have been operating location-based services (LBS) such as "buddy finder" services in violation of the Protection of Location Information Act," according to Chosun.com. Korean law states that when carriers provide a location to a third party, "the carrier must immediately notify those whose information was disclosed." The carriers disagree with the assessment and state that a prior arrangement with the individual is in place the first time the service is used.
