TheDayBefore calendar app says it's had a trademark in Korea since 2015, but apparently no one at Fntastic noticed.

—and has held the South Korean trademark for the title since 2015.

It all makes the situation about Fntastic and The Day Before seem somehow more absurd than it already was. When the studio first announced that it was having trademark troubles, it mentioned only that the US rights to its name had been snaffled in 2021, which it then failed to notice until January this year. But the calendar app company has held the trademark in Korea for eight years now, and has been a Google search away for over a decade.

In the interests of fairness, Fntastic's complaint that a calendar app"has nothing to do with the games category" isn't really invalid. I doubt there's any serious risk that the audience for either product is going to get them mixed up, and it could certainly be the case that the people behind the app just saw an opportunity when the game got announced and took it.
