You have two threads now---please keep your questions in only one thread or it becomes too confusing for us.

So you are really asking about your 2021 federal refund. TurboTax does not get any information about your tax return after you file your return, so no one at TurboTax can tell you what happened. We can only make guesses. You have to check the IRS refund site yourself to see what it says:

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Does the IRS site say your refund was sent? Or does it have some other information----was your refund reduced? And since you are in Korea, the IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank--do you have a U.S. bank account? If not, then the IRS would only mail a check to the address on your tax return.

How do I speak to the IRS internationally?

@Zina hong Another thing ---- the screenshot you included shows that the return was "Printed" which suggests that you filed by mail----not by e-file. The very backlogged IRS is taking six to nine months to process mailed returns, so it is possible that your refund is simply one of the very delayed refunds that require a human to process your return. TurboTax cannot tell you. Your only source of information about your tax return is the IRS. If a human at the IRS has opened the envelope and entered information into the system, you should be able to see it on the IRS refund site.
