What is “Opzelura Korea”?

Is Opzelura approved in South Korea, and for what?
The key point to verify for “Opzelura Korea” is South Korea’s specific approval status and labeled indications (for example, whether it’s approved for atopic dermatitis and/or vitiligo, and under what patient criteria). Approval scope can differ by country, even for the same active ingredient (ruxolitinib).
If you tell me what you’re trying to find (approval status, dosage guidance, indications, price, or how to get it), I can narrow the answer to that exact topic.
How do patients typically access Opzelura in Korea?
