Furthermore, how often have you found that web content hasn't been kept
current ???

And exactly who will you appeal to if you arrive in Korea without a Visa
and you discover it is recovered.

If I were investing my funds in travel to Korea, I'd make sure that I had
the proper documents by dealing DIRECTLY with the authorized
representatives of the government in question.

course.

What part are you reading that says this?

"# You may enter Korea without a visa for a stay up to 30 days
or less for tourism, visiting, or transit to another country when
carrying a valid US passport."

Seems to me to pretty clear that a visa is not needed.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think attending a professional meeting
is either "tourism", "visiting", or "transit to another country".
YMMV.
