It is strange but prior to reading this thread I had not even considered the plate issue a problem to solve. But as I looked at several galleries on this forum, many of the pictures were san front plates. And yes the car does look better without.
There is little chance of driving in Korea without Front Plates. The Korean government has installed high resolution cameras that snap your front cars license plate if you are driving over the speed limit. The picture is then sent to your local district office and a bill is sent to your registration address. Pay the bill quickly and get a better rate. Forget and the charges double weekly. Yes, those roadway cameras work well even in the dead of night. Worst part is that you may be driving on a back country road and all of a sudden you are hit with a blinding flash.
Caught in the act! Cost ,about $45 dollars for 10km over the limit.
That's driving in Korea.
