Korea, neighbors of Japan, and Japan have long been active in various fields of exchange, including political, economic, and cultural exchanges. Particularly in terms of the economy, South Korea is often cited as the first choice for Japanese companies to expand overseas, as it has a certain level of business infrastructure for operations. A Korean lawyer will provide an easy-to-understand explanation in an interactive format on the handling of personal information of employees and customers, which is a common practical problem for Japanese companies in their business operations in Korea.
