Yes, this is C. atrata which is only Cryptotympana species live in Korea.
C. atrata live in Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan etc.
Here’s an excellent website with more great photos of C.atrata: http://homepage2.nifty.com/saisho/photo/s_kuma/s_kuma.html
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.
