VERDICT

Should I use Kisdi?

The pasted URL returns a 404 error page, not a product page - kisdi.re.kr

Skip. KISDI is Korea's government-funded ICT policy research institute, not software — there is nothing to buy, and the pasted URL is a dead 404 page. Policy researchers can read its public reports free; buyers should look elsewhere entirely.

Confidence

High. Based on 9 public sources; the reviewed URL returned a 404 error page, so no product evaluation was possible.
