Problems when Koreans use the Tokyo server
Hello. I am Korean and I am not familiar with English. Please understand this.
Most Koreans play APEX LEGENDS on the Tokyo server because EA removed the Korean server.
And most people experience two things on the Tokyo server.
1. Latency 50ms
2. Latency 150ms
Randomly, some games are 50ms and others are 150ms.
So I did some tests at the Firing Range
After entering the Firing Range, I checked the IP of the server through the "Windows Resource Monitor" and tested the ping.

Three of the five experiments were 45 to 55 ms and two were 150 ms.
This is a very lucky case. Most games are 150ms.
And I found something in common in the 150ms game that goes through ae-0.profuse-solutions.tokyjp06.jp.bb.gin.ntt.net [61.120.144.134].
Servers arriving via ae-0.profuse-solutions.tokyjp06.jp.bb.gin.ntt.net [61.120.144.134] Server owned by profusesolutions (psychznetworks, photovps, yardvps).
So I checked ping on this website.(http://lg.jp.psychz.net/#tests)

I sent a ping to Japan -> Korea. But Ping comes to Korea via the U.S.
Also, the common point of 50ms games is that they use ae-1.zenlayer-c3-networks.tokyjp08.jp.bb.gin.ntt.net [61.200.80.158] or use the Google server.
I have found through several tests that you can play 50ms of games via ae-1.zenlayer-c3-networks.tokyjp08.jp.bb.gin.ntt.net [61.200.80.158] or use Google servers and 150ms via ae-0.profuse-solutions.tokyjp06.jp.bb.gin.ntt.net [61.120.144.134].
Please improve the problem so that I can only enjoy the game in 50ms when connecting to the Tokyo server in Korea.
How about making APEX LEGENDS server again in Korea?
Many people have left the Korean server because of rooting bugs and aimbot ads. If there is a server in Korea again, I am sure many people will come back.
