Yes, this is a Korean specific deployment. I’m not sure if this is the first Flash Cast deployment there (too much of a language barrier), but it is not surprising that minigate is leveraging it.
Check out miniple (korean) (wired version). Read more about the Miniple (english) service.
And, yes, DoCoMo’s ichannel has a large subscriber base to Flash Cast … but, anyone know of any public US or European Flash Cast deployments, please do tell…
Soon, perhaps?
Right now … jealous, isn’t a strong enough word.

… so I hadn’t heard from either Adobe or Minigate on this release. I would like to think that a press release that has gone through the trouble of being translated is actually true.
