Today we have the Korean ‘Pikachu around the World’ part. I will add the same quote again, which I’ll do for all parts:
The first eight parts were Traditional Chinese (click here to go to that part); Dutch (click here to go to that part); English (click here to go to that part); French (click here to go to that part); German (click here to go to that part); Italian (click here to go to that part); Japanese (click here to go to that part); and Polish (click here to go to that part).
Today we have Korean, which has some interesting releases as well. In terms of releases it’s pretty similar as Traditional Chinese, in that it has one WotC era set; one ex era set; some Korean exclusive sets; and after that followed suit with the Japanese sets, but it just started a lot sooner with its return. The Korean Pikachu portion of my collection is 100% complete; I own 92 Korean Pikachu TCG cards. 
Korean
Let me start with a picture of all Korean Pikachu cards in my collection:
For Korean I will go over all sets, and all other decks/products that contain cards (so I skip Korean product releases that are lacking cards or packs, of which there are quite a few actually - i.e. playing mats, deck boxes, sleeves, etc.). I will of course also go over all Pikachu promos, and I will also mention some other noteworthy Korean promos (i.e. there was only a single WotC era Korean promo; there is a Korean exclusive artwork in the SM era; etc.)
Just like most languages, the first Korean set was the Base Set, released in both 1st and unlimited edition, somewhere near the end of 2000 (couldn’t find an exact release date unfortunately). The four Base Set Theme Decks were also released in Korean, and just like the Chinese Base Set products (and Australian released English Jungle/Fossil products) all these products had red Pokémon logos instead of yellow. One interesting thing: the unlimited edition of the Korean Base Set from booster packs/boxes was extremely short-printed and one of the rarest sets in the Pokémon TCG (the unlimited edition Theme Decks are slightly easier to find). I’ve even heard some rumors that the unlimited edition Base Set booster box and packs have been exclusively released in the Northern part of Australia, and never in South Korea itself (unlike the Theme Decks), which might explain why this unlimited edition Korean Base Set is so rare and hard to find specific cards for. The Base Set does of course included the Pikachu with number 58/102.
This Korean Base Set Pikachu with golden Pikachu stamp was however already printed before the Base Set release in South Korea, inside the Pikachu World Collection 2000, which we’ve mentioned a bunch of times in the other parts, released at the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia between September 12th and October 1st, 2000.
The only other Korean card released around this time was the Mewtwo promo. Although it has number 14 as promo number for some reason, this was the only Korean promo card from the WotC era, released on December 23rd, 2000 as handouts in cinemas/theaters for the South Korean first Pokémon Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back (source).
Then it was silent for a few years until February 2004, when the ADV Expansion Pack (EX Ruby & Sapphire in English) was released in Korean. This Korean set was released exclusively in 1st edition and all cards had the new Japanese back. (The Korean Base Set had English backs. Just like the Traditional Chinese Base Set, the Base Set was created in the US by Wizards of the Coast. These ADV era Korean cards were created by Daewon Media Company instead, and all had the new Japanese back.) This set didn’t contain any Pikachu cards.
Shortly after this set was released, the Treecko/Torchic/Mudkip Constructed Starter Decks were released (I’m not sure about their release date/month, but it was somewhere in 2004 as well, shortly after the ADV Expansion Pack set). These cards were also exclusively in 1st edition with new Japanese back. The contents of these deck were the same as their Japanese counterparts: Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip. These three decks didn’t contain any Pikachu cards either.
Around this time there was again just a single promo card. This card, numbered 1/P, was a Pikachu card, also with new Japanese back. It could be purchased from phone booth vending machines at some Korean tournaments in August 2004 (I don’t know the exact date or which Korean tournaments).
Then there was again multiple years of silence, until the Start of an Adventure set, released on May 13th, 2010. This is a Korean exclusive set, and all cards were in unlimited edition again with English back. (From here on out, all Korean cards are created and released by Pokémon Korea, Inc.) This first Korean set of the DP era did contain a Pikachu with number 28/60.
Released on May 13rd, 2010 as well were the Torterra/Infernape/Empoleon/Raichu Random Constructed Half Decks, of which the Raichu Half Deck contained a Pikachu with number 28/55.
Next was the Burning Confrontation set on June 17th, 2010. This time without any Pikachu cards.
On July 8th, 2010 the Japanese Pikachu World Collection 2010 was released, and in November 2010 the English version. Both containing an unique Korean Pikachu artwork, with new Japanese and international backs respectively.
Next we have the Dialga and Palkia Decks, released on August 19th, 2010. Neither contained a Pikachu card.
Nor did the Collapse of Time & Space set on August 26th, 2010.
Next in the eight consecutive weekends between August 28th and October 23rd, 2010, smaller Battle Zone tournaments took place in South Korea as national championship. Players could participate on a first-come first-serve basis. To entry the main Battle Tournament, players had to win two consecutive battles at a Battle Zone tournament, and as soon as each of the eight locations had selected eight junior and eight senior players, the Battle Zone tournament would end. A 003 Pikachu and 005 Pichu were participation prices for these Battle Zone events, and a 008 silver Victory Medal was awarded to anyone who won two consecutive battles. At the Battle Tournament itself, 010 Giratina was awarded to anyone participating, and a 011 golden Victory Medal was awarded to the eight finalists. More Battle Zone tournaments were held between December 4th and 12th, 2010, but this time aimed at helping beginners to learn how to play the TCG. Anyone who participated in these events were awarded a 009 Riolu and 013 Eevee promo as participation prize cards.
Next we have a bunch more Korean exclusive DP era sets (and some decks) from 2010/2011, none of which contained a Pikachu card:

Then on June 1st, 2011 the first two BW era sets released: Black Collection and White Collection. From hereon out, the Korean sets followed suit with the Japanese ones, so this first BW era set does contain the 056/053 Pikachu Secret Rare in both sets.
The first BW era Korean decks were the BW Enhanced Virizion/Terrakion/Cobalion Decks, released on September 6th, 2011, which didn’t included any Pikachu cards.

The Shiny Collection set of August 1st, 2013 also contained a Pikachu with number 007/020. Unlike the Japanese version of this artwork with silver border, this Korean card has a golden holofoil border.

These came in ‘Pokémon Card Game Classroom’ promo packs; 001/XY-P Pikachu in the Pikachu promo pack and 002/XY-P Raichu in the Raichu promo pack. Unfortunately, I’m not entirely sure how and when these promo packs were distributed, but it’s likely near the start of 2014, as participation prizes at one of these Classroom events, similar to their Japanese releases.
Next we have the Collection X & Collection Y sets on March 1st, 2014, of which the Collection X set contained a Pikachu with number 022/060.
Then we have a lot of XY era sets and decks again, all lacking any Pikachu cards:

The XY BREAK Special Set - Hoopa box of December 1st, 2015 did contain holofoil 088/XY-P Pikachu and 089/XY-P Hoopa promos.
This Pikachu artwork was reprinted as non-Holo promo with number 164/XY-P somewhere in 2016 (no idea about the month/day unfortunately), as Kisstick sausage promo. Kisstick sausages in South Korea can be compared to General Mills in English, in that there are quite a few Pokémon promos included with Kisstick sausage promotions, and we’ll mention a few others related to Pikachu later on.

Then on November 16th, 2016 special New Nintendo 3DS XL Solgaleo and Lunala bundles were available, which included an at the time Korean exclusive holofoil Pikachu promo with number 001/SM-P. This Pikachu artwork was later also released in Thai and Indonesian as non-Holo set cards, but is never released in English nor Japanese.

Then near the end of 2017 (I don’t know the exact date) we had the Holofoil 052/SM-P Pikachu promo, acquired by registering friends to the Pokémon Festa 2017 KakaoTalk and exchanging the coupons as proof.
Followed by another reprint of the earlier Darkness that Swallows Light set Pikachu: the Holofoil promo Pikachu with number 069/SM-P. This was an insert in the Beyond Imagination: Pokémon Science Institute volume 3 book, released somewhere near the start of 2018 (no idea about the date again).

Then we had the SM Tag Team GX - Tag All Stars Special Kit on December 21st, 2019, lacking any Pikachu cards.
And then we have the final product of the Korean Sun & Moon era: the SM Random 30-Card Deck. This random deck did contain a Pikachu card with number 021/080, which is a reprint of the earlier SM Family Pokémon Card Game box Pikachu.
Then somewhere at the start of 2021 (don’t know when) the Sword & Shield Promo Pack 1 was available, which contained the following Sword & Shield era promo cards: 001/S-P Eiscue V, 002/S-P Gossifleur, 003/S-P Cinderace, 004/S-P Mantine, 005/S-P Pikachu, 006/S-P Galarian Ponyta, and 007/S-P Noctowl.

Then we had the Amazing Volt Tackle set on October 21st, 2020, which just like its Japanese counterpart contained four Pikachu cards: a Full Art Ultra Rare Pikachu V with number 030/100; Full Art Ultra Rare Dynamax form Pikachu VMAX with number 031/100; a Full Art Secret Rare Pikachu V with number 104/100; and a Full Art Hyper Secret Rare Dynamax form Pikachu VMAX with number 114/100.

(The top of the box itself mentions whether the booster box will contain a promo pack or not. Here is the booster box with promo pack; and here is the booster box without promo pack, which was released later on. Thanks to @rabby250 for this info.)
And those were the last Korean Pikachu cards released prior to February 27th, 2021 (25th Pokémon Day), after which I no longer collect all languages for Pikachu. The remaining few Korean sets/products after this set and before February 27th, 2021, all lacking Pikachu cards, are:
- SwSh Special Kit - Amazing Volt Tackle on October 31st, 2020
- SwSh VMAX Special Set on November 27th, 2020

- Sequel Master & Strike Master sets (which are called Single Strike Master & Rapid Strike Master in Japanese) on February 24th, 2021
We’re not done just yet though, since there are two Korean Base Set reprint released after this date.
First of the 25th Anniversary Collection, released on the same day as its Japanese counterpart, on October 22nd, 2021, which contains the full art reprint of the original Base Set artwork, numbered 001/028.
And the second Korean Base Set reprint, a sparkling Holofoil Pikachu numbered 008/032, came in the Pokémon Card Game Classic box, released in Korean on December 16th, 2023. This box costed 330,000 Korean Won (~252.50 USD) retail, and was mostly available through an online lottery system due to high demand. The only physical place where this product could be bought in addition to the online lottery was the Pokémon Card Shop at the I-Park Mall in Yongsan, Seoul, with served as a hub for official information and had a limited stock available.
And there you have it: all Korean Pikachu cards prior to February 27th, 2021, plus two additional Base Set reprints, for which I’m happy to say this language is also 100% complete. And also a nice overview of all Korean sets and products for the first twenty-five years of Pokémon.
(If anyone knows any of the release dates of the cards where this is missing, please let me know.)

) I’m still waiting for some cards to arrive, but here one that is currently complete. As you know, 
Since it’s my second favorite TCG artwork right now, I decided to get all its variations as a small budget collection as well, which was actually very simple to complete. I was able to buy all cards on day one, except for the non-Holo Russian copy. Yes, I was able to find the Reverse Holo version right away, but the non-Holo not, which I found about a week later. After that it was just waiting for everything to arrive. It’s also a very cheap collection, especially for the current market. The Korean one was responsible for 1/3rd of the entire collection expenses actually, because a few months ago when I bought all these cards, DHL was the only available shipping option from South Korea to my country, and I also had to add some Harumio middleman fees.
And it was the artwork itself. After realizing how much I liked this cute artwork, I decided to have a similar collection as my Moltres for this single artwork, minus all the sealed/graded copies. Especially since I knew how cheap they are; the shipping costs were higher than the card costs for each of these.

), the Portuguese Vivid Voltage of November 13th, 2020 (
So it ended (in the middle of the night) at about 2/3th of my max bid. 
Pretty annoying, but at least I now know this limitation of Gixen. Better that it happens with something like this than a card I wanted a lot more I guess…
