SEOUL, South Korea Apr 28, 2006 (AP)— Google Inc. has seeped into many aspects of online life across the globe, but the Internet search engine has failed so far to make any notable inroads in one of the world's most-wired countries: South Korea.

Users here are some of the most Internet-savvy in the world, with millions of people running their own blogs and taking advantage of omnipresent broadband hookups and Wi-Fi hotspots.

South Koreans would seem like natural Google users, but the leading search engine is merely a bit player.
