Average penis size in South Korea 🇰🇷

The figure comes from Hwang et al., 2005, which measured 1,767 men. Method: measured by clinician.

This study didn't record a bone-pressed measurement, so it reads roughly a centimetre lower than a bone-pressed study of the same men would. Compare this row against a bone-pressed one and part of what you're seeing is the ruler.

A sample of 1,767 men puts this in the mid-range of the studies used here.

Hwang's team measured 2,335 young Korean men and reported the result split by circumcision status. The figure here is the circumcised group of 1,767 men; the 568 uncircumcised men in the same study averaged 11.71 cm. The gap between the two groups is small and the study was not designed to establish cause. What matters for reading this table is that the Korean number is a subgroup mean rather than the mean of the whole sample.

South Korea ranks #20 of the 24 countries in the game. That is 0.74 cm below the median of this list (12.77 cm).

Both of those comparisons are against a list of two dozen countries chosen by which studies exist, not by any sampling of the world. Treat the rank as a fact about this dataset rather than a fact about the planet.

South Korea has been the daily puzzle 2 times so far. Each of those days has its own archive page.

It doesn't describe any individual man from South Korea. The spread between individual men inside a single country runs several times larger than the gap between any two countries on this list, so a national average carries almost no information about a person.

Nor is it medical advice, or a benchmark to measure yourself against. If size is something you've been worrying about, the guide on what the pooled data actually shows is a more useful page than this one, and a doctor is more useful than either.
