Pokémon Go Takes Over Korea As Gamers Travel Hours To Play New App

Pokémon Go has become an overnight success with millions of downloads and users across the world. But, for Pokémon fans in South Korea, the success of the new app has been bittersweet as the game has not yet been officially released in the ROK. However, people from across the country are already traveling to Sokcho, the first area that allows users to play due to a mapping oddity, to play the game and preparing for a time when it will be available across the country. Korea FM’s Chance Dorland spoke with Gangnam Gamers’ Wilfred Lee & EXBC live streamer Esco to hear how they and others have traveled hours to play Pokémon Go and what the experience has shown them about the game and dedication of South Korean fans.
