Why Seoul
Korea is an expensive country to reach from outside. Domestic interconnection rules make transit into Korean networks costly, so running inside Seoul instead of pushing packets in from Tokyo changes both the latency and the economics of serving Korean users.
How Seoul is connected
Both KINX and Equinix Seoul are in our peering set; between them they cover the carrier-neutral side of Korean interconnection. The trans-Pacific and intra-Asian cables land at Busan and Geoje on the south coast and are backhauled north, which means Seoul gets short domestic paths onto every major system without hosting a landing station itself.
