Korea Business Forum: Expand your network, enhance your knowledge
Engage with South Korea’s leading business minds at the Korea Business Forum—connecting global executives and fostering professional growth.
My work relies on understanding South Korea deeply from a distance. There hasn't been a better resource to help me do this effectively than Korea Pro. I particularly benefit from the excellent daily newsletter, which adeptly sorts signal from noise.

Korea is not an easy place for businesses, embassies and reporters to figure. It has all the appearance of a transparent, modern democracy, but can be confusing and contradictory at times. Chambers of commerce and other organizations do their best to help, but it's hard to find any that have done it as well as Korea Risk.
