Apple Store came late to South Korea — 2018, a decade behind Japan — landing on Garosugil in Samsung's hometown market with pointed symbolism. The country's fleet then grew fast: Yeouido (2021), the flagship-scale Myeongdong (2022), Jamsil beside Lotte World Tower, Gangnam (2023), and Hongdae (2024).
