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.
