It's all about the arcades! Tekken has been a big hit in Korean arcades for decades. The community and tournaments keep everyone engaged.

In my experience during a trip to South Korea, I noticed that locals seemed to love Tekken for its deep gameplay mechanics and graphics that really show off the hardware (seriously, the graphics are epic).

Tekken just resonates more with the competitive scene in Korea with its diverse characters and complexity.

South Koreans might favor Tekken over Street Fighter because Tekken has a richer arcade culture and tournament scene in South Korea compared to Street Fighter, making it more ingrained in their gaming culture.
