Best Korean sunscreens that do not leave white cast on dark skin?

I have medium-dark skin and every sunscreen I have tried leaves a terrible white cast. I have heard that Korean sunscreens are lightweight and cosmetically elegant. Can anyone recommend Korean sunscreens that work well on darker skin tones without leaving a white or gray cast? I need at least SPF 50 for daily use. I also prefer something that works well under makeup. Chemical sunscreens are fine with me. I have seen brands like Isntree, Beauty of Joseon, and Round Lab recommended - has anyone with darker skin tried these?

White cast comes mainly from inorganic UV filters (zinc/titanium), so on medium-dark skin look for Korean sunscreens built on organic/chemical filters or modern hybrid 'no-cast' formulas. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun and Round Lab Birch/ Mugwort sunscreens are frequently praised by deeper-skin users for minimal cast, and Isntree's hyaluronic/chemical versions tend to apply clear (their pure-mineral one can cast, so check the filter list). All are available at SPF50+ PA++++ and most layer well under makeup. Apply a generous amount and let it set a minute before foundation. Since formulas and your undertone vary, sampling one or two before committing is smart.
