Is there a service in Korea that would write and locally mail a greeting card for me?

Is there a personalized greeting card service in Korea? I'd like to have a company send on my behalf a holiday card to a household with my own custom message inside.
Basically, I'd like to avoid writing a card here in the US and paying $40 to send one greeting card to a family in Korea, for delivery before Christmas day. I'd like a Korean company to write a personal message (of my choosing) for me in Korea, and mail it by local post. The card and the message inside should be in Korean, not English. In the US, I could use a service like this: .
I know there are services in the US where they would even hand-write the inside greeting for me, and that would be ideal, but not necessary. The card design can be any mass design - I'm not looking to customize the card design with photos or anything, though that would be even better. Assuming I can't customize the design, I would choose something on the elegant side.
Maybe there are Korean expat message boards or something like that that could help me find something like this - but I'm not familiar with those sites. Any leads on this would be appreciated!

Been in Korea for almost four years now - local department stores like Emart or Homeplus might be able to make something work. They won't have service in English, however, and e-commerce in Korea still feels stuck in 2003, courtesy of ActiveX controls...
You might consider a company that publishes snail mail for you through online. They've gotta have some Christmas card options :)

Response by poster: Thank you for the replies and suggestions. This is a tough one, it seems.

Not as convenient as a dedicated greeting card service, but they should be able to get the job done if a better solution doesn't emerge.
