Doing Business in Seoul

Whether you need more enquiries or better communication with existing customers, our remote team supports Seoul businesses across marketing and messaging.

Seoul is South Korea's capital and economic centre, home to electronics, entertainment and beauty brands known worldwide.

Seoul audiences expect Korean content on Naver and KakaoTalk as well as Google.

Key business areas include Gangnam, Jongno, Yeouido, Mapo and Seongsu. Our work for Seoul clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (Korean, with English) and the regulations of South Korea.

Seoul Market Notes

Who your customers are

Seoul's customers include technology and electronics companies, finance firms, entertainment and media businesses, retail and beauty brands and tourism. Gangnam is a major business area.

How they choose and contact a business

Korean customers expect fast, mobile-first communication, and KakaoTalk is dominant.

When demand peaks

Chuseok and Lunar New Year (Seollal) are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches name Gangnam, Myeongdong, Hongdae, Itaewon, Jongno and Yeouido. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in South Korea

South Korea has among the world's fastest mobile networks, and KakaoTalk is used by almost everyone; Kakao's business message service (AlimTalk for notifications) often replaces SMS. Korean law requires advertising messages to start with the '(광고)' advertising label, include the sender's name and contact details, and obtain separate consent for messages sent between 9 pm and 8 am.

Cards, Kakao Pay, Naver Pay and Samsung Pay dominate payments, and Naver and Coupang are major shopping platforms. Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok, when gift sets are exchanged, are the biggest retail seasons.

South Korea's economy is led by large conglomerates such as Samsung, Hyundai, SK and LG, which make semiconductors, smartphones, cars, ships and batteries, and the country has very high 5G coverage. VAT is 10%, and prices are in won. Most Koreans live in apartment complexes and use fast delivery services, so time-sensitive delivery updates and coupons are popular. Search and shopping start on Naver as well as Google.

DND Teams is based in Bhopal, India, and works with clients in Seoul remotely; we do not have an office in South Korea. Seoul is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (as of October 2026), so we agree on regular meeting slots that overlap with your working day and keep updates in writing between calls. Quotes can be prepared in INR or KRW (South Korean won) as agreed, and payment terms are set out in the proposal.

Language, Time Zone and Currency in Seoul

Customers in Seoul mainly use Korean, with English. Seoul uses the Asia/Seoul time zone (UTC+09:00 as of October 2026) and is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (as of October 2026); the usual working week is Monday to Friday.
