Cannot add SSL certificate for exploria-escape.kr - "Hostname already exists" error

# Cannot add SSL certificate for exploria-escape.kr - “Hostname already exists” error

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble adding an SSL certificate for my domain `exploria-escape.kr` to my Fly.io app `suwon-movie`.

## Issue

When I try to add a certificate using either the CLI or web dashboard, I get this error:

```

Hostname already exists on app

```

## Details

- **App name**: suwon-movie

- **Domain**: exploria-escape.kr

- **Account email**: jyg2675@gmail.com

- **Error**: “Hostname already exists on app”

## What I’ve tried

1. Removed the certificate using: `fly certs remove exploria-escape.kr`

2. The certificate list shows no certificates (`fly certs list` returns empty)

3. Tried re-adding via CLI: `fly certs add exploria-escape.kr` → same error

4. Tried adding via web dashboard → no response/fails silently

5. Re-authenticated using: `fly auth logout && fly auth login`

## Current state

- DNS is correctly configured (A record: 66.241.125.72, CNAME to suwon-movie.fly.dev)

- `www.exploria-escape.kr` can be added but stays in “Awaiting configuration” status

- `exploria-escape.kr` (apex domain) cannot be added at all

I suspect there’s a stale certificate reference in the database that wasn’t properly cleaned up.

## Requested action

Could someone from the Fly.io team manually remove any existing certificate references for `exploria-escape.kr` so I can add it again?

Thank you for your help!
