Answering my own question:

Article 55 appears to be relevant:

(1) The Minister of Information and Communication may request the
information and communications service providers, etc. (in this

provisions of Article 58 apply mutatis mutandis) to submit related
goods and documents, etc., if it is necessary to enforce this Act.
