<div>Apparently there is an API there for use. But being "national" I suspect the law against transferring Korean geospatial data to places outside Korean control is still the governing factor.<br></div>
<div>You can use the API to look at the data, but I would expect they would frown on the practice of tracing the data into the OSM database.<br></div>

<div>Are you positive this "National Transport Information Center" is the source referred to here?<br></div>
<div>Since there are already more than 40,000 ways (I didn't count nodes) with source=NTIC, I guess people have already done so at some scale. Is there any way to trace back who / what group did this and what permissions, if any, they sought? <br></div>
<div>The best I can do is list the top 5 users who most recently edited ways with source=NTIC:<br></div>
