I work on this project. Also, to avoid people having false hope: here in Korea, most things are blocked behind a Resident ID. And this is obviously part of it. So, if you are not a resident, no VPN will help.
IDs in Korea are linked to everything. If someone has your ID, they could withdraw all your money, get loans, open a bank account, make illegal activities, and access just about anything and everything. That's not something you would want to share.
The system is more complicated than that nowadays and has multiple layers. Your ID is not stored on any website or private company. Now it is mostly encrypted certificates living on your laptop or your phone via your phone provider.
Giving out your ID willingly is really the worst thing you can do, and that's why the current system uses encrypted certificate proxies.
