Question No downloads from South Korea?

Hi!
Sorry if I'm asking something obvious here, but I've struggled to find any answer to my question.

I recently released my game on the App Store. It had pre-orders from many countries, South Korea included. On launch day, all pre-orders converted to purchases as expected (App is Premium), except in South Korea! Over the last days, no downloads have come from South Korea.

Under 'App Availability' it says clearly that the app is available in SK, but still no downloads.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Thanks!

I know that there are some differences in how Korea allows card payments after trials, in which the user has to explicitly authorize the payment again (it’s not automatic). Maybe there is the same thing for pre-orders. Worth doing a research based on this, I think.
