Legal government
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_293

Recalling its declaration of 12 December 1948 that there has been established a lawful government (the Government of the Republic of Korea) having effective control and jurisdiction over that part of Korea where the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea was able to observe and consult and in which the great majority of the people of Korea reside; that this Government is based on elections which were a valid expression of the free will of the electorate of that part of Korea and which were observed by the Temporary Commission; and that this is the only such Government in Korea,

The Government of the Republic of Korea was the only government that satisfied all of these conditions. There may have been a government in the northern part of Korea but the Temporary Commission had not been able to observe those elections (?). Legal does not seem to be the right word here. For a long time the current government of China was not the one that the UN considered to be "China"; but now it does, and it didn't go from being "illegal" to being "legal" because it was never "illegal", it's just that the control of China was disputed (and perhaps still is, but not at the UN). I have not edited the article myself partly because too lazy to check for people reverting it and talk page gives the issue visibility, but as currently written, the article gives more "moral" opposition to the government in the north part of Korea than is fair. Jeju Uprising, apparent banning of Communist party in southern part of Korea by US military forces. (Resolution 112 called upon "all Members of the United Nations to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Korean people during the interim period preparatory to the establishment of Korean independence".) 2601:600:8500:B2D9:8D9F:2DE3:8AB4:356C (talk) 22:28, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
