Apple TV No app store

I'm living in South Korea and my apple tv does not have the app store on the home screen (my apple id is originally from Canada, but I have switched locations to SK). The model is 4K so it is new enough to contain the app store option. I own a smart TV with HRD, if that is at all relevant.


What do I need to do in oder to access the app store? I am logged into my account and have updated the software.


Thank you in advance,

Apple TV 4K

Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t sell Apple TV in South Korea at this time. www.apple.com/kr/

Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t bring video media services to South Korea at this time. No iTunes Store video content, no Apple TV+, and likely because of that also no App Store for the Apple TV box. Availability of Apple Media Services - Apple Support

With an Apple ID account for a different region, you would also need a payment method from that different region.

With an Apple ID account for a different region, you would be able to access the iTunes Store for that region.

Some apps from the App Store may restrict to where they send their content. Many services are local to one nation, for licensing reasons.
