The Korea Masters tournament is usually held in November or December every year of the BWF event calendar in South Korea. It began in 2007 as an International Challenge, when it was held in Suwon, then it moved to Yeosu in 2008 and Hwasun in 2009. In 2010, it was turned into a BWF Grand Prix event.

The event became a BWF Grand Prix Gold event in 2011, and it remained at that level through the end of Grand Prix Gold in 2017, with the exception of 2014, when it changed back to Grand Prix status, the same year Korea hosted both the Asian Games and the Badminton Asia Championships.

In 2015, the name of the tournament changed to Korea Masters. In 2018, this tournament was the part of the BWF World Tour Super 300, after the Grand Prix Gold event ceased.
