So there was a line that finally told me Solo Leveling's anime takes place in Korea.
I know it sounds stupid, but some people were swearing up and down it takes place in Japan (which makes no sense since jeju island is in korea and the original manhwa was in Korea), but this week there was a line "we will be participating with our close neighbor." "You mean Japan?" "Yes, they will be at risk as well if this continues"
There was probably something in the beginning that said it was definitely in Korea, but now I've got a line that shows Japan is elsewhere.

@sj_zero The fact they're Koreans, using nothing but Korean names and honorifics wasn't enough?
What's more perplexing is the English text everywhere

All you have to remember the history of localization, in the US there were lots of times where a show that was clearly in Japan would suddenly be in america, and given that the three countries of China Korea and Japan don't always have the best relations, the idea of doing something Petty like setting a Korean story in Japan doesn't seem entirely outside of the realm of possibility.

Ah, and it looks like they actually made two versions -- one for glorious nihon, and one for the gaijin.
