Dickle #19: South Korea 🇰🇷

The puzzle for 13 August 2026 asked for the published average stretched penile length in South Korea. Here is the answer and the study behind it.

The answer

Stretched length · South Korea

12.03 cm

4.74 in

That's 0.9 cm below the worldwide average of 12.93 cm.

Near the bottom here: only 17% of the 24 countries come in lower.

Source: Hwang et al., 2005 · 1,767 men · Measured by clinician.

What that figure rests on

Hwang et al., 2005, measuring 1,767 men. Method: measured by clinician.

This study did not bone-press, which means it reads roughly a centimetre lower than a bone-pressed study would on the same men. Comparisons against bone-pressed countries are partly comparing rulers.

The worldwide pooled mean for this measure is 12.93 cm, from Belladelli et al., World J Mens Health, 2023 (55,761 men). See methodology for the four ways any of these figures can be wrong.

How it sat in the game

South Korea is #20 of the 24 countries in the rotation. That is 0.74 cm below the list median of 12.77 cm.

Both comparisons are against a two-dozen-country list assembled by which studies happen to exist, not by any sampling of the world. And the spread between individual men inside South Korea is several times wider than the gap between any two countries here, so none of this describes anyone.
