All-time results

South Korea entered annual AFC Youth Championship from 1959 to 1976 excluding the 1975 tournament and the youth matches of those days were played for 80 minutes.

The FIFA World Youth Championship was founded in 1977 and the AFC Youth Championship became a qualifying tournament of the World Youth Championship. The top two teams (generally finalists) of the AFC Youth Championship could qualify for the World Youth Championship until 1995. The two competitions were held every two years, and introduced 90-minute matches since 1979.

The number of participating teams in the FIFA World Youth Championship was increased from 16 to 24 in 1997, and four Asian countries, generally the semi-finalists in the AFC Youth Championship, has qualified for the competition since then. The FIFA World Youth Championship was renamed the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2007. The AFC Youth Championship was relaunched as the AFC U-19 Championship in 2008 and the AFC U-20 Asian Cup in 2023.
