South Korea

South Korea has participated in the Own Asiavision Song Contest 28 times since making its debut at the first contest. The country won the contest 4 times; Taeyeon feat. Verbal Jint won the fifth edition with their song "I", Tiger JK feat. Yoon Mirae & Bizzy the ninth edition with the song "Eagles", Everglow the twenty-first edition with the song "Adios" and Dreamcatcher won the twenty-third edition with "Scream". South Korea consecutively failed to qualify in the Semi-Finals two times in twenty-seventh edition and twenty-eighth edition and this marks the first time that South Korea has failed to advanced the semi-finals in the quarter-final in the twenty-ninth edition with the song "Enchanted Propaganda" by Jvcki Wai. This resulted in the country's permanent withdrawal after KBS announced they will not participate in thirieth edition and the Head of Delegation has stepped down. It was speculated that the country has not qualified three times in a row resulting in low rankings.
