South Korea's 5G subscribers reached 11.85 million last year, up over 900,000 from the previous month, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT.
The number of 5G users accounted for 16.8 percent of South Korea's 70.5 million mobile network subscriptions.
The migration to 5G picked up in the second half with the launches of new 5G phones, such as Apple's iPhone 12 series and Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 models.
South Korea's number of 5G users is expected to surge further with the launches of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S21 models and cheaper data plans from mobile carriers.
South Korean telecom operators currently support non-standalone 5G, which requires support from the previous 4G LTE network.
But with the increasing number of 5G users, local mobile carriers are eyeing to adopt new technology, such as standalone 5G, to improve network quality.
