Vercel domain verification fails for university subdomain smid.snu.ac.kr

[junminsuh-6398 (nightstudy)]

Problem

Domain verification issue for smid.snu.ac.kr (University Subdomain).

Issue

• Domain is linked to another Vercel account.
• Cannot complete TXT verification at _vercel.snu.ac.kr because the university IT department only controls the smid.snu.ac.kr subdomain zone.

What was attempted

Request

Manual domain verification or release of the domain from the existing Vercel account so it can be linked to my project.
