I think you'll find that the korean NIC are swamped with security
issues at the moment.  KRNIC-CERT took the pain to reply to a couple
of requests sent from SANS analysts (see http://www.sans.org/giac.htm)
regarding scans over New Year's night.

There is definitely an issue with machines in Korea being an easy
target, mainly Linux boxes without any security patches installed and
left wide open.

Please do try to write to KRNIC, they might not reply but perhaps they
need to see the breadth of the problem regarding their networks.
