S3 Frankfurt and Seoul only support the V4 authentication API. Consequently, any requests using the V2 API will be rejected with 400 Bad Request:

This happens when you are trying to work with any S3 service which only supports the "V4" signing API — and the client is configured to use the default S3A service endpoint.

To avoid this error, set the specific endpoint to use via the fs.s3a.endpoint property. For more information, refer to Configuring Per-Bucket Settings to Access Data Around the World.
