South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (Korean: 대한민국), is a country located in East Asia that is seen in The Walking Dead: All-Stars.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Prior to the outbreak, South Korea was a country in Southeast Asia located on the southern side of the Korean peninsula and had a population of 48,813,042. Much like its neighbors, South Korea was a massive cultural hub.
Post-Apocalypse[]
All-Stars[]
Yi-Rang arrives at her school and meets up with Jin-Ah. She makes Jin-Ah feel comfortable in the safe-zone; however, they are separated when the school is invaded by walkers. Yi-Rang finds Jin-Ah locked up in a room and saves her. Then she teaches Jin-Ah how to kill the dead before leaving the school.
Jun-Hyuk and Young-Min hide in a classroom as the school is invaded by the dead. The duo decide to leave the classroom when they see that the coast is clear. As they leave, they find a private and corporal that they know as guards for the safe-zone being eaten by the dead. The two soldiers begin to turn as they leave the school. Once outside and right before they leave the area, they run into Yi-Rang and Jin-Ah and they all leave the premises to look for a new home.
Jun-Hyuk and Young-Min go into the city, which is mostly overrun by now to look for supplies. They they encounter Ji-Ho and Eun-Chan who had just escaped Gimpo International Airport, which was also converted into a safe-zone, after it to got infested by walkers. The group roams around the area while looking for supplies.
A group consisting of Jun-Hyuk, Young-Min, Ji-Ho, Eun-Chan, and Ju-Seob seperate from the rest of their group members which include Yi-Rang, Jin-Ah, and Jin-Tae as they hae decided to go back to the airport in hopes of getting on a plane and making it to the US.
Eun-Chan, Jun-Hyuk, and Young-Min go to the control tower to help start up the plane. They wait for Ju-Seob and Ji-Ho to appear. Ji-Ho and Ju-Seob try to escape the Underground Tracks and get to the plane before they are surrounded by walkers. While they're escaping, Ju-Seob sacrifices Ji-Ho and allows him to be eaten by walkers. As he's dying, Ju-Seob tries to explain that one of them was going to die, and since Ju-Seob is bigger and therefore less athletic, his odds of surviving the Track escape were minimal so he did what he thought he needed to do. He also says that between Ji-Ho and Eun-Chan, Eun-Chan is more useful to the group. Ju-Seob reunites with the rest of the group and says that Ji-Ho sacrificed himself to save him. Eun-Chan is suspicious of this, but despite this the group reaches the plane. On the plane it is revealed that Young-Min is bit and he commits suicide so as not to turn. Eun-Chan reveals that he is not a pilot and that it was his brother Ji-Ho that was actually the pilot, and because of this knows that Ju-Seob is lying about his brothers fate. Ju-Seob leaves the plane, allowing walkers to come in. Eun-Chan and Jun-Hyuk are able to fight off the walkers for a bit, but it's unknown what happened to them after this.
