Violation of architectural copyright. The South Korean copyright law does not allow commercial freedom of panorama. It is one of the works authored by Haeahn Architecture and was completed in 2017. Commercial Creative Commons licensing permission from the author (Haeahn Architecture) is required. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

 Keep 단순한 병원 건물에까지 파노라마의 자유에 대한 소송을 제기한 사례는 대한민국에 없고, 없을 것입니다. 한국과 관련된 사진 자료에 대해 과도하게 엄격한 규정을 적용한다면 위키미디어 운동에 참여할 한국인은 남아나지 않을 것이 불보듯 뻔합니다.--Trainholic (talk) 17:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

(Google Translated as "There is no case in Korea where a lawsuit has been filed regarding the freedom of panoramas, even to simple hospital buildings, and there will never be one. If overly strict regulations are applied to photo materials related to Korea, it is clear that there will be no Koreans left to participate in the Wikimedia movement.")

@Trainholic: sorry, but the law is the law, even if it is harsh. Why don't you all convince the Korean legislature to remove the fourth condition at Article 35(2), if you don't want to have more photos of Korea be deleted from the site? Any non-commercial restriction like that is not compatible with commercial licensing requirements of Wikimedia Commons. It is not a loss for Wikimedia Commons if there are fewer (or no more) Koreans left to contribute here though; Wikimedia Commons survived even if there is limited coverage of many countries because of those countries not allowing complete or commercial Freedom of Panorama. Best example is the United Arab Emirates: it is not properly represented here as more than 50% of UAE is of buildings whose architects haven't died for more than 70 years (like Burj Khalifa), but still Commons survived. It is the initiative of Wikimedia Korea to change the copyright law of Korea – to entirely remove the fourth condition of Article 35(2). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 22:14, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Deleted: per nomination; sorry, but per COM:PCP the low likelihood of a lawsuit is not a reason to prevent deletion. The law is the law is the law. —holly {chat} 22:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
