- About this plate
- What is NOT in doubt: before the 2004 amendment a Korean private plate opened with one of the seventeen two-syllable authority marks, and after it, none did.
- About the format
- Digit skeleton only, and this series elides TWO non-Latin elements, not one: the printed mark was 서울12가3456, a two-syllable AUTHORITY MARK, two class digits, one hangul use syllable, four serial digits.
