I posted on github with what the problem entails and just a POSSIBLE idea of something we could do.
It is mostly a data problem. Originally when Korea had very few mappers, > things were pretty barren.

No, they probably should not > have been added as "towns", especially the "-eup, -myeon, and -ri" > divisions since the "centroids" rarely corresponds to any actual towns or > villages. Part of the problem was language and translating the idea of > those lower divisions. > In all honestly, those points that correspond to nothing (originally > "centroids") could probably be removed or moved to a town/village that > actually does represent the division.
