According to Yonhap News, which has received official confirmation from Samsung that the Galaxy S10 5G will be available in Korea from April 5, 2019.
Unfortunately, there's no word on when UK customers will be able to place an order for the Galaxy S10 5G, however.
Although Samsung hasn't confirmed a US launch date either, the April 5 Korean release date suggests earlier rumors that claimed the company wanted to get the Galaxy S10 5G out of the door before mobile network Verizon switches on its 5G network on April 11 were accurate.
It means Samsung can snatch a podium place in the race to become the first to launch a 5G-enabled smartphone in the US.
However, Samsung has confirmed that it plans to make the 5G Galaxy S10 available exclusively on Verizon in the U.S.

And considering the 5G version will hit Korea a week earlier, it's at least possible that the handset could make its way to Verizon's network on or around Apr. 11.
But again, we don't have pricing or availability information yet on the U.S., so this is all speculation.
Considering how Samsung is pricing its 5G handset in Korea, however, don't expect it to be cheap.
