This is good research but presenting the information in this format is unlikely to be of use to many readers. It would be better to add comments to the individual summits via SOTA maps or SOTL.AS

EDIT: Noting Andy’s comment. I should have done my homework and looked at the summit pages. Putting comments for each summit is great work.

It’s better than that, a comment has been added to the summits on their own summits page. In both Korean( Hangul) and English.

Only thing missing is the “restricted access” tag on each article so it has a nice icon showing there’s a restriction

Thank you for the advice, VK3ARR. Thanks to your help, I successfully added the access restriction tag to the summit.
