Interest in adding/approving South Korean "Hangul" character to Alternative Titles section

Hi, currently no way to add titles written in South Korean writing script called Hangul and Chosŏn'gŭl for North Korea but my interest is mainly for adding the title format for South Korean tv dramas and films using Hangul characters. Usually when I try to add the original South Korean title not in Latin/romanized characters it says "invalid character sequence". I do see it was added for some shows and movies in the Alternative Titles section but not sure how.
I've already reached out to IMDb support and was referred to posting my suggestion on this community board. 

This conversation has been merged. Please refer the main conversation:

Alternate titles : Please add Korean letters Hangeul.

Girlygirl: There was a similar request a few days back. I had been under the impression that there were no films with Alternate Titles in hangul because IMDb had not implemented that yet. I have seen Alternate Titles in Chinese, Japanese, and Russian titles but not in Korean hangul.

I had assumed that if IMDb didn't have the hangul title shown for Gisaengchung (2019) (Parasite), the most internationally famous Korean film, they wouldn't have it for any films. Can you point out any films that do have Alternate Titles shown in hangul?

So these South Korean titles all have a Hangul title listed in the section labeled “Also Known As (AKA)” or “Alternative Titles”. Labled as South Korean (IMDb display) or South Korean (alternative title) for a few. If I try to add Hangul name to a Korean title today it would say “characters not recognized).

I am North American based so I don’t know if other regions that are able to access IMDb are able to add Hangul titles or what.
