Both civil and military drones are widely used in South Korea, however, no official English-language documentation of regulations can be found. Secondary sources indicate that drones may be flown up to 492 feet, cannot weigh over 26.4 lbs, and cannot be flown over sensitive areas such as nuclear power plants and military bases. Commercial usage is said to require registration from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport.
