What is the reason why Google Maps is not available in Korea?

We have both Naver and Daum, but I don't know why Google Maps isn't working.

 

Add...

It's not that Google Maps doesn't work, but I'm curious why Google Maps aren't displayed in detail like other maps.

Maybe it's just a basic map
Google won't support a 1:5000 detailed map
I think I heard before that it can't be provided to foreign companies due to security reasons

As far as I know, there is a regulation that the server must be in Korea for Korean map service
Google doesn't want to have a server in Korea, so we can't get a map
The reason is that in Korea, state agencies can take servers and investigate them when necessary, but in the United States, they don't want to because this is a violation of privacy
