- About this plate
- The large commercial plate, the biggest characters in the Korean system at 116 mm, and the only Korean plate that is taller than the large non-commercial one (220 mm against 200 mm), because the commercial layout needs a line for the authority mark that the non-commercial layout does not.
- About the format
- Digit skeleton only. Two lines: 서울 39 over 바2764. Annex 6 serves large buses and 4-tonne-plus goods and special vehicles, so the class code is 70-79, 80-97 or 98/99.
