The Korean way makes more sense, it's akin to OAuth and Google never sees your ID (or gets a chance to collect more personal data if you use your credit card instead). And yes i-PIN was annoying when I lived there but I assume most issues have been ironed out. The EU is working on its own digital ID for that very reason.

> And yes i-PIN was annoying when I lived there. Unfortunately it still is. It has improvements though, so at least it wasn't stagnated like, I don't know, EU's APIs for VAT exemption queries. Technically speaking, you can still access certain details (like name and gender) on the i-PIN system, but on the other hand Korean PIPA is very strict (stricter than GDPR except in certain religious activities, pointed out on the draft adequacy decision) and is actively enforcing the law.
