Based on the facts of the current government laws. The official rules state that only Korean infections for Korean citizens and long term foreign residents with residence card - and within 40 days.
Now, as you said, some local health departments do whatever the F they want. Some throw you in a government facility. Some will say "ok well you got COVID recently, so actually we don't care." But that varies wildly, and you should not go into Korea expecting that they will accept your form and let you avoid staying home or going to a facility. These local health office rules aren't published, so we can't say which one you'll get.
