I am not sure how the subsidies work in Korea but it is conceivable people can switch between different carriers to receive new activation discount.

I'm not sure how it works in Korea either, but it doesn't make much sense to me to assume they are irrational..Subsidies cost the carrier money, and they're not likely to do that for nothing. Long term contracts virtually guarantee the carrier of getting their money back, and that prevents people from switching.
