Thanks all, i tried to identify this butterfly based on your suggestions. My conclusion is Lycaenidae, Favonius aurorinus. http://www.nabistory.co.kr/nabi-htm/45.htm Please let me know if there any other suggestion ID.

The Bernardino Blue is an US soecies and not found in Korea. Lycaenidae, Lycaeninae, could be a Chrysozepyrus sp., Chrysozephyrus brillantinus?? I am not 100% sure! Please, check yourself. You might find more picture in your Korean language... http://tolweb.org/onlinecontributors/app;jsessionid=9870969D47B79D0C8EDE2D7FF06C0DC9?page=ViewImageData&service=external&sp=31038 Other candidate: Favonius sp.??
