Start near the middle of South Korea and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 36.2050° S, 52.0986° W, in South Atlantic Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Uruguay 🇺🇾, roughly 254 km (158 miles) south-east.
The closest settlement of any size is Montevideo, Uruguay, about 398 km (247 miles) from the point.
