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.h...

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...
