This research discusses maximum magnitude for each seismic source in Korea, and to compare the maximum magnitude before and after the 2016 Gyeongju and 2017 Pohang earthquakes.
Based on the Wells and Coppersmith(1994), the largest possible earthquake is estimated to have a magnitude of 7.9 from Tsushima faults. The application of the measured fault length as the surface rupture length introduces a potential for overestimating the values of high-magnitude.
