Country Introduction

South Korea is located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides. To the west lies the Yellow Sea, to the southeast is the Korea Strait, to the east is the Sea of Japan, and to the north it borders North Korea. The shortest distance to China is only 190 kilometers, with a time difference of just 1 hour, and within a 1-3 hour flight radius of most major cities in China. Whether in terms of economic development, personal career growth, or children's education, South Korea is attracting an increasing number of immigrant investors as an important destination.
