Looks to be either completely non-notable or worse, a hoax. None of the five sources even mentions the organisation (despite one being a press release), and this includes e.g. this Reuters source which has nothing even remotely mentioning this organisation. Searching with the original Korean name gives a whopping 9 results, most of them Wikis or their Facebook page. Looking for "World Talent Exchange and Sharing Organization" isn't any better.
I came across this article when looking at what's going on with (the name of) Park Ho-eon/Peter Park, who is listed as a Chairperson of this organisation. Perhaps, if this organisation is really as shady or non-existent as it seems to be, a closer look at everything else related to Park needs to be done, preferably by people who can read Korean and can judge whether the sources and claims are legit or not. But this AfD is only for the "World Talent" etcetera. Fram (talk) 09:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
