I dunno where you got the idea that South Korea still clings to paper-based number cards, but OTP tokens have been in use for the better part of a decade here. Nowadays you don't even need hardware tokens, since it's considered OK to replace them with mobile apps that use TPM to manage keys.

I’ve got the idea from the parent comment obviously. It’s cool that the practice of paper cards is not as widespread as I thought after reading it.
Sorry about that. My bank still provides me with cards. I never asked about a OTP dongle and I don't want to enable mobile banking, so cards it is. But almost everyone in Korea (who isn't paranoid about a single compromised device) is now on mobile banking, rather than website banking.
