Your first record will appear here shortly.
Copy individual values or export the entire result.

Synthetic identities; domains, addresses and numbers may coincide with real values. Do not contact or send payments.

Testing South Korea interfaces

This locale uses ko definitions for names and presentation formats. Test text lengths, input handling, exports and Unicode support. City, region and available postal codes come from the same GeoNames locality. See the generated quality note for postal coverage; street and house number remain synthetic.

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TEST CASES

Testing South Korea forms

Use a South Korea profile as a starting point for form tests. This guide focuses on five-digit codes and building/unit suffixes. Add the deliberate fixture below to make that behavior repeatable.

Generator locale: ko. Suggested application display locale: ko-KR. These are separate settings; this guide does not change the generator’s output.

Address reference for South Korea

The Korea UPU sheet documents the five-digit code introduced in 2015 in place of the former six-digit system. Its examples distinguish a building number with dong from a unit with ho.

Five-digit codes and building/unit suffixes

Include a migration rejection or review case for an old six-digit shape. Keep building and unit fields separate, and add Hangul text as an independent rendering fixture.

A deliberate regression fixture

Editorial regression fixture — shape and preservation tests only
country: KR
postal_shape: "01234"
building: "102-dong"
unit: "204-ho"
expected: Retain five postcode characters and distinguish the building from the unit.

These editorial inputs are for controlled tests. They are not verified addresses, guaranteed unassigned contact details, or automatically generated examples.

  1. 01

    Fixture assertion

    Retain five postcode characters and distinguish the building from the unit.

  2. 02

    Original text

    Add the hand-written input “하늘” and compare it after saving, copying and CSV import. It is an editorial string, not promised generator output.

  3. 03

    Locale and coverage

    Test ko-KR display separately from the stored date-only value. Keep the generated locality coverage note with the record; the address reference does not expand Genory’s dataset.

Address reference: UPU addressing guide: South Korea. Reviewed 4 October 2026. Postal presentation rules are not universal rules for storing personal names.
