Has everything in it been taken?

Reviewed. Some of what it contains has knowingly not been taken yet.
What is left
Two pie charts on PDF p. 1 (images, no text layer: '분야별 보상금 지급 건수' and '분야별 보상금 지급액') give the count and amount for every area, including the small slices the text does not list (e.g. 의료, 기타, 환경국토). text recognition (OCR) with kor+eng (labels isolated by colour, 2x scale) reads the large slices that match the text but cannot reliably tie the small labels to their values (e.g. '억' read as digits, labels outside the pie lost). Read the charts by eye and add the remaining slices.
What the document holds
ACRC press release of 23 Apr 2024 on Q1 2024 rewards (4 pages; the header misprints the year as 2023): 68 people, about KRW 820 million, 68 cases, revenue recovered about KRW 7 billion (already in the data); counts and amounts for the four largest areas from the text (added; shares in percent not recorded, they restate the counts); eight reward cases in welfare, employment, R&D and medical (added). Korean amounts: 억 = 100,000,000 and 만 = 10,000. A figure printed with 억 only is recorded in 억 (scale 'hundred million', e.g. 1.6억 = 1.6); one printed with 억 plus 천만/만 (e.g. 2억8천여만) is recorded in units of 만 원 (scale 'ten thousand': 2억8천만 = 28000), as earlier Korean rows do.
