This catalogue error was first brought to the attention of SCOTT in January 1998:
During the period 1953-08-01 through 1955-11-11, (KS# 149-150/Sc# B1-B2; thru KS# 190/Sc# 225) all stamps issued by the Republic of Korea contained a changed "country-name-line". From "Tae-han Min-gook Oop-yoe/Republic of Korea Stamp", to "Tae-han Min-gook Oo-jong/Republic of Korea Postal Administration".
See "Changed-Country-Name-Line"
SCOTT attempts to record this 28 month temporary name-change:
See Scott's changed "country-name-line"
The problem/s is/are, that the character meaning "Stamp/oop-yoe" has been labled "Redrawn" by Scott; when it has been present on Korean Stamps since the first issue 1946.05.01, and returns forever, on the issue of 1955.11.11. It definately should be labeled, "Original"; and should be shown first (left position).
Further problems are created because Scott has not placed the Remark at it's appropriate places: Before Sc# B1 & B2, before C12-C16, and before Sc# 195.
See Scott's Semi-Postal B1 and B2
See Scott's CD page 53, Sc# C12-C16
See Scott's CD page 5, Sc# 195 Scott 2003 is the same.
This catalogue error was first brought to the attention of SCOTT in January 2002:
From "A GOD of Korean Stamps" opinion:
"Insert (because of dates) Scott 385-96 between Sc# 370 and Sc# 360a."
The quagmire that is Scott's listing and illustrations shown for the Korean 1962-66 definitives, can be somewhat alleviated by the showing of these illustrations:
This catalogue error was first brought to the attention of SCOTT in January 1998:
The next thing I'm recording is SCOTT's handling of "Korean Official-Stamp-Books". By official, I'm talking about stamp-books released by The Issuing Authority. Up until 1995, that was The Ministry of Communications. Since 1995, it has been The Ministry of Information & Communications.

This catalogue error was first brought to the attention of SCOTT in January 2002:
The next error that I am recording, has to do with SCOTT's listing in the Literature Series area, page 190.
See SCOTT's current page 190 extract
A. Illustrations:
1. The Illustration Description currently associated with Illustration A1190; A Poem to the Sui General..... belongs with current Illustration A1189.
This catalogue error was first brought to the attention of SCOTT in January 2002:
I suggest that SCOTT check its S. Korean Booklet-Archive to see if a Booklet actually exists for SCOTT# 1890, "Suwon Castle Bicen." to justify the remark at #1890: "Complete booklet, 10 #1890 $11.00". I consider it extremely unlikely, that SCOTT has a Booklet for this issue.
See SCOTT's page 48 Sc# 1890 stamp extract
Scott 2003 is the same.
The 200th Anniv. of the Dedication of the Suwon Castle issue, was presented to the public in a Special Sheet of 10 stamps. The sheet's artistically designed selvage contained South Korea's 1st Cinderella/label stamp.

This catalogue error was first brought to the attention of SCOTT in January 2002:
