It is only 190 kilometers from China at its nearest point, shares a time difference of only one hour with China, and is within a 1-3 hour flight radius of most major Chinese cities. Whether in terms of economic development, personal career growth, or children's education, South Korea is attracting an increasing number of immigrant investors as a key destination.
