I see Republic of Korea on the IB open account page. This would be worth looking into.
Any American trading outside of the US ?

Why does being American matter? I'm Canadian and trade US stocks all the time using IB.
You're going to need to maintain a U.S. address or use the address of a trusted relative that resides in the U.S. while you reside in South Korea. Further, I use my U.S. cell phone whenever I call my U.S. brokers even though I primarily reside in Québec Canada but I use my U.S. home address for opening a broker account or anything financial...never my Québec Canada nor South France home address.
After your account is open, I don't think it matters with that specific broker. Thus, you can move or pretend you've moved to South Korea when in reality it's your primary address.
I think it doesn't matter because they already have verification from you about your U.S. citizenship, social security number, etc. Thus, after your account has been approved...they don't care where in the world you reside.
P.S. Stock brokers are less picky than Futures brokers about the residing address.

What did op do to piss you off? They dont just front run, they steal entire accounts and murder the account holder.
Seriously? How long are we going to go circular on a simple question... Americans don't have the same reporting requirements as Canadians.
