On Friday, Prime Minister Han Seong-sook stated that the Korean government does not discriminate against companies based on their nationality. This assertion came during a meeting organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) in Seoul, amid growing concerns about potential discrimination against U.S. companies operating in the country.
During the discussion, Han made it clear that the government will explicitly address any policy issues that might be perceived as discriminatory. She emphasized that the government is open to explaining its policies to companies expressing concerns about potential discrimination.
Some senior U.S. officials and lawmakers have also raised concerns about U.S. technology companies, including the e-commerce giant Coupang, facing regulatory disadvantages while operating in Korea. Han, a former CEO of Naver, an online portal company, shared her personal experience of navigating regulatory measures while leading the company.
Han also mentioned that the AMCHAM or other companies can inform the government about any observed discriminatory practices.
