Do I need to file 1040-NR?

I am a South Korean citizen, living in South Korea.

The last time I was in the US with a visa was in 2021 as an F-1 student. (In 2023, I was in the US for a week or so with ESTA.)

Would I be considered a non-resident alien?

 

I have a savings account in the US and received 1099-INT but have no other income to report.

Do I need to file 1040-NR?

Looking at the IRS website, it sounds like interest income from savings account is nontaxable for nonresident aliens?
