I am not sure about the source, but I believe I have read a comment in the last days from a Korean, that an actual ban requires the consent of several parties, and that, if anything, it could not be achieved until the next six to twelve months. And that does not sound so illegitimate, because South Korea also lives in a democracy in which decisions that are directed against the interest of a large part of the population (there is a running petition against a possible ban right now) can not be simply made "overnight".
A lot of information that we currently receive in the West is purely based on FUD. That is why i find it great that you translate Korean information sources and build your own opinion based on that!
