Mia Yim wants to see WWE make their way to South Korea For a WWE Premium Live Event.
Yim is a member of the SmackDown roster along with the rest of The OC, but was not part of WWE’s Premium Live Event in Backlash this past weekend. That being said, Yim would definitely like to see WWE head to South Korea next.
Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Yim was asked about her wish to see WWE head to South Korea, somewhere she has never wrestled before, even on the independents, for a Premium Live Event.
“Listen, like I said before, there’s so much wrestling in Japan and Mexico, Puerto Rico was a big thing. I’ve never heard of a big promotion going to Korea, and I know that wrestling is starting to really grow over there. Wrestling is growing in China, in Korea, and I’ve gotten DMs from several Korean wrestlers over in Korea, just thanking me for putting Korea on the map, in a sense. If we had a show in Korea, I would fly my mom out. I have family over there, so I would fly my mom out and bring all my family. Even if it was just a small show, it would mean so much to me because you don’t hear much about wrestling in Korea. Any amount of recognition is enough for me, and it would mean something so special to me because when I first started wrestling, that was something I’ve always wanted to do and something on my bucket list that I have yet to check off,”
“Even when I was doing the independents, I never had a chance to wrestle in Korea, so it would just be cool to have my family that’s out in Korea, my mom fly out, and to be able to watch with her family, with my aunts and uncles, and to really, like how Zelina felt. It was really cool to see just how she was so welcomed by her people, and her family was there. There’s just that special moment, that special connection you have with your people, with your environment, with your land. That is definitely on the top of my bucket list,”

Yim is not the first star to throw their home nation into the hat for a premium live event in their own country, with Santos throwing Mexico’s name into the hat for a future PLE there.
