Until recently, most of Lineage's customers played through game
rooms, and the game rooms themselves purchased the accounts for
their players to use.  It's a fairly complex relationship which
doesn't lend itself well to comparing to other MMOs.

That being said, South Korea is starting to move towards greater
adoption of home computer/broadband use. There's other games as well
which have huge US MMO-dwarfing numbers (Redmoon, Ragnerok, etc)
which don't get as much press as Lineage.
