However, my research immediately came up with a ruling found in a  Laurel letter from 2007 (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2007/08/07-08lar.html see "Yang SuGyong") which states that there isn't sufficient evidence of contact between Europe and Korea before 1600 A.D. to allow for their submission. Is this ruling still in effect?

Please note that I Am Not A Name Herald.

That said, I would be astonished if that ruling wasn't still in
effect. Korea had economic trade during period with China and Japan,
and to a lesser extent some Arabian states, but that's about it.
