South Korea is a country that stands out globally with its advanced mobile infrastructure, offering 4G LTE and 5G coverage to more than 99% of the population. In particular, in major cities, 5G speeds can reach up to 500-1000 Mbps. The main mobile operators in the country are SK Telecom, KT, and LG U+, with SK Telecom leading in national coverage and high speeds.
