GJ might stand for Gwangju
And Darea might be the name of a hotel or a company...
But I may be completely wrong.

Another thing puzzling about that cancel: How come there are no Korean characters in it?

There exists a post office called Gijangdaera Postal Agency in Gijang-eup, Busan.
Chaseong-ro, just off Chaseongnam-ro.
Google maps places it at
118-6 Daera-ri, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea.

GJ may be Gijang.

Google maps' street view shows the postal agency.
