The Korea Open (Korean: 코리아오픈테니스대회) is a professional tennis tournament held in Seoul, South Korea. The women's edition started in 2004 as a WTA International tournament and is played at the Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center on outdoor hardcourts. The event was a WTA 500-level in 2024 and in 2025. It returned to its previous WTA 250-level in 2026. In 2022 a men's ATP Tour 250 event was also held.

History

The event was sponsored by Hansol Paper until 2011. In 2012 and 2013, it was sponsored by Korea Development Bank. In 2014, Kia Motors was the sponsor. From 2017 until 2024 it was sponsored by KEB Hana Bank, and in 2025 it was presented by Motiva.

In 2020, the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, it was originally scheduled as a WTA 250 event in September, but was later postponed and rescheduled to December as a WTA 125 tournament and indoor event.

In 2022, the women's edition returned as a WTA Tour 250 event and the sole edition of the men's ATP Tour 250 event also took place. The women's event continued and in 2024 was upgraded to a WTA 500 event, before being downgraded back to WTA 250 in 2026.
