-'''{{iw|wikipedia|South Korea}}''' is a country in East Asia, located on the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula. Historically, South Korea's ''Smash'' scene was very niche, owing to the poor market standing of [[Nintendo]] in the country (notably, the [[Wii U]] and {{forwiiu}} were never officially sold in South Korea); this started to change after the release of the [[Nintendo Switch]], which granted newfound popularity to Nintendo in the country and allowed a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' South Korean competitive scene to begin blooming. Though still largely grassroots, the South Korean ''Smash'' scene now sees respectable attendance numbers.
