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:

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. :)
