Apparently Korea is a 'designated country' meaning their licence holders can drive here on holiday, subject to some restrictions. 

Can you drive in the UK with an international licence? (marshmallow.com)

Any advice on "international" licences - there is no such thing - is likely to be dubious.

It isn't talking about a specific document called an international licence. It is using that as a generic term for any non-uk licence. 

But it's the wrong generic term. They mean "foreign", or "non-UK"  licences.

no need for licence, or insurance, or even a 17th birthday card.

Youngest lived in Canada and USA from 2014 to 2021 - he passed his US driving test in LA. Prior to then he regularly lived and worked in the USA but has always listed our address as his prime UK contact. He was also on the electoral role

As Flight3287462 gas said you just need an address that you can be contacted on.

It wouldn't be my preferred term either, but I'm not sure it's "wrong" as such.

It's wrong because it's a meaningless term. "International" implies that a licence is valid everywhere, which none are,
A Korean licence is no more "international" than a UK one.
