That is an exciting error for sure, and the price is another wow factor without a doubt. Seems like these Korean Empire errors are getting the attention they rightfully deserve.
Brockages are called "eum-ta error" or simply "eum-ta" in Korean. It literally translates to "negative strike."

I thought you might be interested in this example:
https://m.blog.naver.com/ruler01/220220121089
a Gwangmu 2 (1898)1/4 Yang with a Brockage on the other side of the coin (although labeled as Obverse, too). It was sold raw for 220,000 won (approx. $200) in 2014 on a Korean numismatic forum and reappeared as slabbed, in 2015, for sale, although not sold.

Another error you might be interested in: https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.n...50640;#47084;
Gwangmu 6 (1902) 5 Fun, double struck.
Happy collecting. :)

I find all these types of errors and anomalies very interesting. I can barely get my mind wrapped around American coin errors. Foreign coin errors from where I sit is a non-started. Thanks again for sharing.
