I envy the managers. Korea’s managers have not updated their position for 10 years since the 2013 update. Even the wrong placement on the sea has not modified its position. It is compared to Korea’s managers, who have delayed the opening of a mountain even though there are many changes such as the height, location, and name of the top of the mountain.

We will fix the positions for these HL/JN summits that are misplaced. But in the meantime the following have been suspended.

HL/JN-192
HL/JN-287
HL/JN-305
HL/JN-321
HL/JN-331
HL/JN-347
HL/JN-351

As soon as we have a fix they’ll be made valid again.

I know the correct coordinates for the Sota registration point below.
The exact coordinates found by visiting and measuring in person or by looking at the map are as follows.
HL/JN-192 => Lat [N º] 35.31448, Long [E º] 126.39843
HL/JN-287 => Lat [N º] 35.26769, Long [E º] 126.52251
HL/JN-305 => Lat [N º] 35.34645, Long [E º] 126.45404
HL/JN-321 => Lat [N º] 35.31479, Long [E º] 126.44634
HL/JN-331 => Lat [N º] 35.28498, Long [E º] 126.43287
HL/JN-347 => Lat [N º] 35.21369, Long [E º] 126.32494
HL/JN-351 => Lat [N º] 35.23679, Long [E º] 126.41048
I hope it will be corrected as soon as possible.

I asked SOTA Korea Manager to correct coordinate errors for several years, but they have not yet corrected them.
The SOTA registration points below are also representative ones that need to be corrected by incorrectly raising the coordinates at the time of initial registration.
The correct coordinates are as follows.
HL/CB-089 => Lat [N º] 36.69152, Long [E º] 127.83464
HL/GB-233 => Lat [N º] 37.51530, Long [E º] 130.82724
HL/GN-040 => Lat [N º] 34.99224, Long [E º] 127.87048
HL/GN-139 => Lat [N º] 35.59228, Long [E º] 128.08207
HL/GN-170 => Lat [N º] 35.33500, Long [E º] 128.90997
HL/GN-182 => Lat [N º] 34.95862, Long [E º] 127.86641
HL/GW-093 => Lat [N º] 37.42772, Long [E º] 128.45268
These are the coordinate points that have an error of more than 1km and up to 100km, and the hundreds of coordinates that I checked during the field visit also have errors, so they need to be corrected. Currently, the menagerie in Korea is very busy, so it is expected that it will take decades more for the correction to take place. I hope the British main association will review the correction as soon as possible.
