I'm surprised there's no information on whether South Korea and South Vietnam were in the group while observers

Given that Palestine is currently a UN observer and a full member of the Asia-Pacific Group at the same time, I'm surprised I can't find any information on whether South Korea or South Vietnam were also Asian Group members while they were UN observers for decades.

The closest I get is that South Korea and South Vietnam were founding members of the Group of 77 in 1964, before either was a UN member, and that the Group of 77 also has regional groups. But this isn't proof on its own (since Yugoslavia was in the G77's Asian group and Romania was in the G77's Latin American group). I also can't even find a document that explicitly says that before 1990, South Korea was in the G77's Asian group (and correspondingly for South Vietnam).
