In a May 27 notice, the Incheon Chinese Association said that because the representative office is adjusting passport and authentication fees from June 1, its own related fees will also rise. The actual amounts were posted as an image and could not be confirmed.
The association's notice board carries a May 27 post titled, roughly, an advance notice of passport and authentication fee adjustments (increases). The text body is a single sentence: from June 1, because the representative office is adjusting passport and authentication fees, the association will also adjust (raise) the fees listed below. In context the representative office appears to mean Taiwan's representative office in Korea, though the notice does not spell out its name.

What is confirmed is that the notice was issued by the Incheon Chinese Association, posted May 27, with June 1 as the effective date. The association also says the increase follows the representative office's adjustment rather than its own decision. Such linkage seems common where an association gathers application documents and handles them on members' behalf.
However, the list of items and the new amounts sit in an attached image that this paper could not read. Which documents rise, and from what to what, is unconfirmed and is not guessed at here. The surest route for users is to call the association at 032-772-2129 or 032-772-4073.
A related notice
A pinned post dated October 28, 2019 sits at the top of the same board, on ten-year visa renewal for permanent-resident foreigners. According to its summary, F-5 permanent residents must renew their cards every ten years under a Ministry of Justice system, book online and apply at a designated immigration office, with a fee listed as 30,000 won. That guidance is seven years old, so current procedures and fees should be checked with immigration authorities.
The two notices differ in date and subject, but both show how heavily the Chinese community relies on the association's counter for passport and residency paperwork. Because the association usually posts first when fees or procedures change, users need to watch the board closely to catch updates such as a fee increase.
