It's actually difficult to report the drivers since you will need their name and an ID number from inside the cab in order to report them. If they're just walking around outside the station, especially larger stations, how can you know who they are?
But one area where they can crackdown is on gypsy cabs (illegal cabs) operating at the airports in Seoul. Those are big rackets that ripoff foreign tourists, especially those groggy from long international flights. They operate right out in the open and Korean authorities never seem to crackdown on them.
