Back in April, the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) announced that South Korea had nationwide 5G coverage. Just as a comparison, South Korea is about 2.4 times smaller than United Kingdom with a population of 52 million vs 68 million.
Sweden is 4x times larger, 450,000 square kilometers, and according to @PTSse Sweden had 9,119 5G base stations in October 2023 - across all three networks. https://t.co/ml9hOneZg7

Tefficient compares it with Sweden, which is four times bigger but has a far lower number of base stations compared to that of South Korea.
While the OpenSignal report from late last year wasn't that impressive regarding the 5G availability, it would be good to compare it with the next one whenever released.
Finally, here are other couple of charts from Tefficient highlighting the 5G data traffic growth and the subscription growth from South Korea:
And it may be that the growth in total mobile data traffic of South Korea has stopped growing as a result. October 2023 is still the highest point. https://t.co/SOqlJqRiif pic.twitter.com/jhVm8ZZGGK
