Is Muse Available in South Korea?

1. The status: not available in South Korea yet

No. As of October 25, 2026, Muse has not launched in South Korea, and Meta has not announced a launch date. That is the whole answer, and it has not changed since Muse first appeared. If you are reading from Seoul, Busan, or anywhere else in South Korea, you cannot sign up for Muse in your own country yet, and no date on any site can tell you when that changes, because Meta has published none.

The full list is short. Muse launched in the United States on September 8, 2026, reached Canada on September 18, 2026, and arrived in Japan on October 23, 2026, the first country outside North America to get it. Those three countries are the complete list as of October 25, 2026. Everywhere else, including South Korea, Muse has not launched yet. We keep the full list of Muse available countries current, and it says the same thing: South Korea is not on it yet.

That puts South Korea in a strange spot. It is one of the most connected countries in the world, its people were among the fastest to try every new AI product of the last two years, and Meta itself has been talking about Korea as a place it wants to reach. None of that is a launch. A launch is an announcement with a date, an app listing in the Korean App Store and on Google Play, and a sign in that works from a Korean account. None of those three things exists yet, so the honest status is simple: not yet, no date.

This guide stays with what is known. It covers why South Korea keeps coming up in every conversation about where Muse goes next, what the Japan launch tells us about the order of things, what to do while you wait, what to prepare now so the first day works, and the warnings that save you from fake dates and fake codes. Nothing here invents a date, and nothing here pretends the wait is over.

2. Why South Korea keeps coming up

South Korea is one of the two countries readers ask us about most since Japan launched, and the question is always the same: Japan got it, so when do we get it? The question is fair. Japan is close, Japan is the first Asian launch, and Korea has been ahead of most of the world on every consumer technology shift of the last decade, from fast mobile networks to AI assistants in daily life. When a product like Muse opens in one Asian country and not the next, the next country asks first, and South Korea is asking loudest. The other country readers ask about most is Singapore, and our Singapore guide gives the same honest status for readers there.

The demand is visible outside our inbox too. The Korea Herald reported that search interest in Muse in South Korea rose 30 percent in a month after the United States launch, as Korean users shared workarounds to reach the app that had not launched in their own country, and archives collecting Muse use cases spread across Korean social media. That is not a launch, and it is not a user count. It is a measure of curiosity, and the curiosity is real: people in South Korea are already studying what Muse does, before they can officially use it.

Meta has noticed, and said so in public, without promising a date. Stefano Prata, Meta's vice president of privacy policy, said at a Global AI Privacy Forum in Seoul that he hoped Muse would launch in South Korea soon, and that he would return to headquarters and work to raise the priority of a Korean release. Hope from a senior executive is worth knowing about, and it is not a launch date. The same reporting that carried his words also carried the other half of the story: a Seoul Economic Daily report said there was no timetable for South Korea or other markets. Both halves belong in the same sentence, because together they are the true status: wanted, discussed, and undated.

There is also a local reason the question matters so much in Korea. Naver and Kakao, the two companies whose services sit at the center of daily life in South Korea, have both set AI agents as a goal for this year, and both have moved to block outside AI agents from reaching their platforms. Industry watchers in Korea have said plainly that Muse itself is the threat to that position, because the agent that answers first decides which services a person ends up using. That rivalry does not set Meta's launch calendar, and it does not speed anything up, but it explains why the wait feels longer in Seoul than it does in most other waiting countries: the country is not just waiting for an app, it is watching a contest over who becomes the first AI agent its people reach for.

One more detail belongs here, because it confuses people. Meta's AI glasses went on sale in South Korea in September, and Meta has said Muse will come to its glasses. Glasses on sale is not Muse launched. The agent and the hardware are two different rollouts, and the agent has not arrived in South Korea on any device, glasses included. If you bought the glasses in Korea, you have the hardware. You do not have Muse.

3. What the Japan launch tells us about what happens next

Japan is the closest thing South Korea has to a preview, because Japan is the only launch since the first two, and it shows how Meta moves. The pattern so far is one country at a time, about five weeks apart at the start: the United States on September 8, Canada on September 18, then a pause, then Japan on October 23. Meta announced Japan on the day itself, through its Japanese newsroom and the official Muse account, and the app went live in the Japanese App Store and on Google Play the same day. There was no advance date, no public countdown, and no list of next countries. Japan simply arrived.

That pattern cuts both ways for South Korea. On the hopeful side, Japan proves the rollout has left North America, and Asia is now open for launches. More than ten million people set up Muse in the United States and Canada in its first weeks, and Japan is the first test of whether the agent travels outside North America at all. Japan also proves Meta is willing to launch with local services from day one: Gmail and Google Calendar worked at launch, Klook travel bookings worked from launch day, and Meta named Mercari and Money Forward ME as connections on the way. A Korean launch, when it comes, will very likely look the same, with global connectors first and Korean services following. Our guide to using Muse in Japan shows exactly what that first day looked like, and it is the best picture available of what a first day in South Korea would look like too.

On the cautious side, Japan proves nothing about timing. Meta gave no warning before Japan, and it has given no warning since. There is no published order, no public list, and no statement that South Korea is next. Japan arrived about five weeks after Canada, but five weeks is not a schedule, it is a gap between two events, and gaps do not repeat on command. Anyone who tells you South Korea launches in a particular month is guessing, and the guess is worth exactly what you paid for it.

The useful lesson from Japan is about preparation, not prediction. In Japan, the people who got the most from day one were the people who already had the pieces in place: a Meta account, a Gmail account they actually used, a Google Calendar with their real schedule in it, and a clear idea of the first tasks they wanted Muse to handle. The launch itself took minutes. The preparation took longer, and it is the part you can do now, from South Korea, before any announcement exists.

4. What to do while you wait: join the waitlist

The single most useful thing you can do today takes two minutes. Join the waitlist, tell us your country is South Korea, and you will get a fresh invite code the day Muse launches there. That is the whole mechanism, and it is the one we run for every waiting country. There is no fee, no queue position to protect, and nothing to install while you wait. When the launch email arrives, it arrives with a code you can use at once.

The waitlist beats checking back on your own for a simple reason: launches arrive without warning. Japan arrived on a Friday with an announcement on the day itself, and nobody outside Meta knew the date in advance. If you check the news once a week, you can miss the first days of a launch entirely, and the first days are when invite codes are scarcest and the guides are freshest. The waitlist checks every day so you do not have to, and it tells you the day your country opens.

What happens when the email arrives is simple too. You open the email, take the code, download the Muse app from the App Store or Google Play, or open muse.ai in a browser, sign in with your Meta account, and enter the code if setup asks for one. Access in the launch countries runs on invite codes, and many members are asked for one during setup, so having a code waiting in your inbox removes the one step that stops most people on launch day. Once you are in, you receive invites of your own, and you can pass them to friends who are still waiting.

One warning belongs here, and it is blunt: never pay for an invite code. Codes from the community pool on this site are free, codes from the waitlist are free, and codes from Meta are free. Anyone selling a code for South Korea today is selling something that cannot work yet, because there is no launch to use it on. If a listing or a message offers you early access to Muse in Korea for money, it is a scam, and the only thing it will take from you is the money.

5. What to prepare now so day one works

Waiting is not doing nothing. The preparation below takes an afternoon, it costs nothing, and it is the difference between a launch day that works and a launch day spent fixing accounts. Every item here is something that worked from day one in the United States, Canada and Japan, so every item here is a safe bet for South Korea.

• A Meta account you can sign in to. Muse needs a Meta account, and you can create one with an email address or a phone number. Make it now, sign in once, and make sure you can get back in. A launch day is a bad day to discover you forgot a password.
• A Gmail account you actually use. Gmail is the connector that makes Muse useful on day one, and it was live in every launch country from the start. If your mail lives somewhere else, move the mail that matters, or set up Gmail forwarding, so the inbox Muse sees is the inbox where your work arrives. Our Gmail connector guide covers the connection itself and the one account limit, so read it before launch day and you will connect in minutes.
• A Google Calendar with your real schedule. Muse reads your calendar to plan your day, spot clashes, and remind you what needs prep. A calendar with three test events in it teaches you nothing. Put your real work, your real meetings, and your real deadlines in it now, and the first briefing Muse gives you will be about your actual life. Our Google Calendar connector guide covers how the pairing with Gmail works.
• A short list of first tasks. Write down five things you would ask Muse to do in its first week: the morning inbox summary, the calendar check, the trip plan, the form you keep putting off, the research question you never get around to. A list stops you staring at a blank chat box on day one, and it tells you fast whether the agent is doing what you hoped.
• The privacy setting, decided in advance. Decide now that the first thing you will do inside the app is open Settings, then Data controls, and turn off Help improve our AI models. That switch controls whether Meta may use your chats to train future models. Deciding now means you do it before you share anything real, instead of remembering it a week later.
• Approvals set to ask you first. Before you connect anything, set approvals so nothing is sent or paid for without your tap. This is the single most important safety step on the page, and it matters more the more useful the agent becomes. An agent that can send email and book things is only safe when it checks with you first.

None of this needs Muse to exist in South Korea. A Meta account works today, Gmail works today, Google Calendar works today, and a list of tasks works on paper. Do the preparation now, and the launch becomes a five minute job: download, sign in, connect, ask.

6. What will work on day one

Here is what a first day in South Korea will very likely look like, based on what day one looked like in the three countries that already have Muse. The basic version is free, including the app download and the core features. You can talk to Muse by text or by voice, and you can ask it to carry out tasks in steps, not just answer questions. It will keep working in the background after you close the app, and it will ask for your approval before it sends an email or pays for anything. You need to be 18 or older to use it.

Gmail and Google Calendar will almost certainly be there from the start, because they were live in the United States, Canada and Japan from launch day, and they are the two connectors every launch has shared. Connect them and Muse can summarise your unread email, manage your schedule, and keep both current as you talk to it. If you did the preparation in the section above, this step takes minutes, and the first morning briefing you get will be the moment the product stops being a demo and starts being a routine.

Paid subscription plans will also exist for people who want more usage, the same pattern as in the other launch countries. Meta did not publish Japan specific prices in its launch announcement, and there is no reason to expect Korean prices to be published in advance either, so check the plan screen inside the app before you subscribe to anything. Nothing about the free tier requires a card, and you can use Muse properly before you ever see a plan screen. The free tier is the full starting point, and it is where everyone should begin.

What about Korean services? Nothing is announced. Japan launched with Klook from day one and Mercari and Money Forward ME named as coming soon, which shows Meta builds local lineups country by country. South Korea has its own services at the center of daily life, and a Korean launch would need its own lineup, but Meta has named none of them, and no Korean company has announced a Muse connection. Expect the global connectors first, watch for local ones after, and treat any list of Korean launch partners you see before an announcement as invention.

One more thing to expect on day one: an invite code screen. The download is public, and access in the launch countries still runs on invite codes, so many members are asked for one during setup. That is exactly what the waitlist is for. Have the code ready, and the screen is a ten second step instead of a dead end.

7. What does not work yet, and the warnings that matter

The honest warnings, in one place, so you do not waste time or money on things that cannot work yet.

• There is no Muse app in the Korean stores. Search the App Store or Google Play in South Korea and you will not find Muse from Meta. The listing appears in a country on launch day, not before. Any app with a similar name is not Muse, and installing it will not get you in.
• There is no launch date, anywhere. Not on Meta's newsroom, not on muse.ai, not in any Korean newspaper, not in any leak worth trusting. Meta publishes no country list and no expansion timeline. A date with no source is a guess, and a date with a source that is not Meta is still a guess.
• The glasses are not the agent. Meta's AI glasses went on sale in South Korea in September, and Meta has said Muse will come to its glasses. Owning the glasses does not give you Muse, and wearing them does not change the status on this page.
• No Korean service is connected yet. No Korean bank, shop, map, chat app or delivery service has announced a Muse connection, and Meta has named none. If a Korean service claims it works with Muse today, ask for the announcement, because there is none.
• Paid codes and paid early access are scams. Invite codes are free from the community pool and from the waitlist. Anyone charging money for a Korean code, a Korean account, or a way around the wait is selling air. Report the listing and move on.
• Watch the source, not the headline. Every launch so far was announced by Meta itself, on the day, through its newsroom or the official Muse account. Until Meta says it, it has not happened, whatever a video thumbnail promises.

None of this is meant to put you off. It is meant to keep the wait cheap. The people who waste the most time waiting are the people chasing dates that do not exist and paying for access that cannot work. The waitlist is free, the preparation is free, and the launch email is free. Everything else is noise.

8. Can you use Muse in South Korea today?

Yes, with limits, and the honest answer is that the official launch is still the clean path. Readers outside the launch countries use the methods in our guide to using Meta Muse outside the US, and the full method on a computer is in our guide for countries where Muse is not available. Every path starts with an invite code, and the guide to finding and sharing your Muse referral code explains where codes come from and how to pass yours on once you are in. The complete list of Muse connectors shows what the agent can reach once you are inside, so you can see before you start whether the tools you care about are live.

Two things to know before you go that way. First, the working methods need a code from the community pool on the homepage, and codes are free there, so never pay for one. Second, a method that works today is not the same as a launch, and it can stop working, change without notice, or leave you with an account that does not match where you actually live. That is the trade you make for early access, and it is a trade worth understanding before you make it.

For most people in South Korea, the better plan is the patient one: join the waitlist, do the preparation in section 5, and let the launch email tell you when the door is open. Japan waited, then arrived in a single day. South Korea will arrive the same way, on a day nobody can name in advance, and the people who prepared will be the ones using it that same evening.
