Web3’s innovation and the Ambition of Korean businesspeople are the best match
Korea’s business world is known as a very competitive society, and it has cultivated a culture of ambition to constantly adopt innovative methods into its business practices, which is unique in the world.
In other words, the Korean business community is more critical of what has been done before and what has fallen out of fashion than any other, but it also has a keen sense of what is cutting-edge and a willingness to take on new challenges without hesitation in making the investment.
I believe that the new wave of web3-based businesses currently underway in the Internet world, encouraged by the vitality of Seoul, Korea, have a very good chance of being put to practical use on a global scale.
The future of the Korean business world is attracting a lot of attention with high expectations.
