    This is a female Cryptotympana atrata.
    Tibia of the mid-leg is characteristic in color.
    The upper half of tibia is orange and the lower black in color.
    C. takasagona does not live in S. Korea, but in Taiwan.

    This is a great shot of a Cryptotympana species, probably C.takasagona.
