Korea is a small, unincorporated community located in Menifee County, Kentucky, in the United States. An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. It's found along Route 1693, which is just east of Frenchburg. Frenchburg is important because it's the county seat of Menifee County, meaning it's where the main government offices for the county are located.
A post office was opened in Korea in 1904. It served the community for many years before it closed down in 1982.
