Korea is a nation-state on Earth, located on the coast of eastern Asia.

Following the Second World War, Korea was divided into two countries: North Korea - which was backed by the Soviet Union and its allies - and South Korea - which was backed by the United States of America and its allies. From 1950 to 1953 North and South Korea fought in a conflict which would come to be known as the Korean War.

Angela Franklin, a 20th century engineer, served in the United States Army Corps of Engineers in Korea from 1958 to 1961. (TOS - Star Trek: Assignment: Earth comic: "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns")

In 2376, Elias Vaughn had a second orb experience with a Bajoran orb. In this experience, Vaughn became Eli Underwood, a veteran of the Korean War. Underwood was present when the allied forces retook Seoul. (DS9 novel: Unity)
