Why the sudden uptick in Korean cases ?
Well here is your answer, apologies in advance for my terrible korean.
One of the members of a Korean cult has the virus

Title: Shinchonji poured out 'corona confirmation'… Suspicion of Shinto crackdown and Cult Activities
“Presumption of Internal Notices Containing Shinto Response Directions… "I didn't go to worship that day"
Xintiandi: "No internal notice has been turned ……” (no one internally told us of the danger of attending)
"Shincheonji Daegu Church had a Sunday 8,000 people worship… Both Wednesday and Sunday worship services are an obligation”
Translator Note: This is not a Christian church, this is a cult. One of the members was infected and was still forced to come.
“Reported by Yang Jung-woo, reporter Yang Jung-woo reported that the church has been using false notifications by members of the Shinchon Ji-Jesu church.
“ According to a plurality of sources on the 19th, images and articles were posted on the morning of online news such as SNS and YouTube.
The outside department is known as a department for escort and issue management within the Sincheonji.”
According to the dissemination notice, Shincheonji Shinto is known to the outside, and Shincheonji is considered to be a member of Shinchonji divided the order of the response direction. “ (Cult was ordered to stop prayer gatherings, they refused)
“First, if the person is known as Shincheonji Shindoji, if the other person does not have a negative perception of Shincheonji, he said, "That day I did not go to worship.”
Even though it was known as Shincheonji Shinto, there was an order to respond that it was not going to Shincheonji Church. "Thank you for protecting my health thanks to my parents. To show that there is no relationship between me and S at all," he said.
If you are suspected of being in a new place, "To be sure that you have nothing to do with me", "," What is the relationship between me and the corona in S? Do you want me to have a corona? "
“On the other hand, Shin Cheon-ji, Daegu Church's chief public officer, explained, "As a general manager, I have never issued an internal notice.

In Shincheon-ji Daegu Church, a 61-year-old woman was identified as the 31st patient on the 18th, and on the 19th, 10 people who went to church with the patient were confirmed to have the virus
Patient 31 attended the worship service on Sunday 9th and 16th at 8:00 am, and Shincheonji explained that 460 members attended the 16th chapel.
Those who are familiar with the inside of Shincheonji claim that the Shincheonji Shinto shrine, which had been worshiped at the Daegu Church every Sunday, was about 8,000 people. Particularly during the noon service, there are witnesses that a great number of believers gathered.
In addition, unlike the ordinary church, the Shinchonji site told the congregation to come to church worship on Sundays and Wednesdays.
A former senior official in Shinchonji said, "Since Shinchonji values the external image, we are not telling the authorities the truth. We must track the facts in the authorities and the media."
Former Shinto branch of Shincheonji Church also said, "Shincheonji divides the whole country into 12 tribes. Each tribe headquarters has subdivisions."
"Shincheonji is going to worship on Sundays as well as on Wednesday. There are alternative worship services for Mondays for those who have not seen Sunday worship."
Mobile posting; will clean up later
Tl;dr : It was not a Typhoid Mary, the spread of the corona virus in korea was a patient who was in a large cult attending service with 8,000 other practitioners. The cult knew of the risk and were asked to suspend service. The government didn’t have confirmation or even a suspicion of the disease so it just looks to me like they are trying to cover their ass.
Again sorry for shitty translation.
