As symbolic of globalised ICTs (Information and Communication Technology), the mobile phone attracts debates about the demise of geography, tradition and sociality. However, one look at the ways in which particular cultures appropriate and localized the mobile phone suggests things may not be so simple. In the Asia-Pacific region we can see that mobile telephonic practices are diverse with uneven penetration rates, in each specific site mobile phones are used in different ways, capitulating to the experiences of locality. The region houses the "four tigers" (Seoul, Taipei, Singapore and Hong Kong) with penetration rates of over 75% whilst in other areas there is as little as 4.2% (Katz and Aakhus 2002: 5). Locations such as Tokyo and Seoul have been the first places to successfully implement 3-G (third generation) mobile devices within everyday practices. In these areas forms of customisation signify both processes of individualization and social capital. Moving beyond gender stereotypes and prevailing Techno-Orientalism, one can see that cute character customization is a contested terrain being transformed by new mobile net telephonic practices.
This paper looks specifically at the ways mobile net telephony is used (particularly through modes of customisation) in Seoul to contest the often cited claim that mobile telephony is not just a vehicle for individuality but responsible for increasingly alienation and disintegration of traditional forms of sociality and spatiality. As an example of a location immersed by 3-G technologies, Seoul provides a compelling context for analysis, specifically in terms of the debates about ICT's mediation of actual contact and the formation of individualization and social capital. In the case of Seoul, we can see that mobile telephony operates as a vehicle to revise the traditional notion of "chon" in order to further enhance pre-existing relations whilst also forging new "connections". Experiences of both strengthening already existing forms of social capital and also affording avenues to extend beyond the known friendships and meet new like-minded individuals, Seoul's mobile net telephony provides a curious model in debates around mediation, individualisation and social capital. In this way, mobile telephony must be understood in terms of remediation - that is remediating and extending from older technologies, practices and social relations - and thus demonstrating that whilst paradoxes abound in contemporary modern societies, mobile technologies do not necessarily fracture older forms of sociality and cultural practices (Bolter and Grusin 1999; Flew 2002).
