Accidentally selected North Korea instead of South Korea as Country of Birth. How to fix?

Hi everyone,

I'm really freaking out right now. I took the TOEFL last month on March 4th, and I just realized I made a massive mistake on my profile.

Under "Country of Birth", I accidentally selected "Korea, Democratic People's Republic of" (North Korea) instead of "Republic of Korea" (South Korea).

Has anyone ever made a similar mistake or knows how to fix this? I need to send these scores to universities soon and I'm worried this discrepancy will cause major issues with my applications.

Who exactly should I contact at ETS to get this changed on my official report? Is there a specific form or process for this, or do I need to call them directly?

Any advice, tips, or steps on how to resolve this would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much!
