South Korea

This is taken from his challenge thread;

Please note that Australia, Singapore, and South Korea (and few more of the new leagues I think) don't have relegation/promotion. Australia and Singapore have one tier, while there will eventually be a relegation spot in the K-League to the N-League (depends how SI codes promotion/relegation in South Korea this year).

Structure

At present the K-League is the only professional league in Korea. It contains sixteen member clubs.

Below the level of the K-League there is the National League, a closed semi-professional/amateur league with fifteen clubs, established in 2003. The third level of football in Korea is the Challengers League.

There is, at present, no official system of promotion and relegation between any of the three leagues. However, beginning in 2006, the champions of the National League had been eligible for promotion to the K-League provided they had met certain criteria. Goyang Kookmin Bank and Ulsan Mipo Dockyard, National League champions in 2006 and 2007 respectively, both rejected the opportunity to move up to the K-League. After back-to-back K-League promotion refusals, the National League committee decided to discontinue the conditional promotion system prior to the 2008 season.
