There's not much to do but just apply. Unfortunately, you are in the "O" group, which has a limited number of spots each year. Being single won't help either and your stay is relatively short. Objectively, it won't be easy.

Good thing is you are well educated and have a nice first/early years job (many congrats).

I believe there are some Koreans that have got through (i.e. obtained PR) over the years, but the pool is probably pretty competitive as well (my sense is that many prefer/would like to setup camp here).

Good luck and regards.
