Hi, we’re serving about 95% Korean traffic, and our database is also located in South Korea.
However, since Cloudflare only provides a very limited amount of Worker capacity, most of our requests are being routed to Japan or even Hong Kong.
Could we have more Worker requests served in Korea? I’d be willing to pay for this if it’s affordable.
#Can we get more worker requests served in Korea.

Are your requests received via a domain you control?

Yes!

Yes!
If you upgrade the domain to a higher paid tier, you may receive better routing

It can help. You can try hitting https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace, and seeing what colo you hit. I say can because we don't guarantee that you are routed to a specific colo, just that you are prioritized by plan tier

Ah yeah... can we expect any kind of deterministic solution on this colo issue in a forseeable future?

Deterministic? No, unfortunately. Cloudflare is an Anycast network, which can be a great asset, since traffic can automatically shift between regions/colos as patterns/traffic change. But this can also cause some issues when regional ISPs provide suboptimal routes to us. If possible, you may want to communicate with the ISP, and report their suboptimal routing.
