I haven't seen them say that anywhere. If they block port 25 everywhere, then they simply prevent the ability to send or receive email within South Korea. That's clearly not their plan.
The port 25 block is designed to force compromised systems to route email via controlled boxes. The fact that you can route email via controlled boxes doesn't mean you've worked around the block, it means you've been forced to do exactly what the intention was.
