Plain-English explainers on Korean labor law, leases, insurance, visas, and other rules affecting workers, employers, and foreign residents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The site divides its material by practical audience: workers, employers and HR, and foreign residents in Korea. Its article list shows a calculation-heavy approach, including the 209-hour monthly minimum-wage figure, three worked pay examples, and the four mandatory social insurances. Other explainers identify a 0.03% drunk-driving threshold and discuss the optional flat 19% tax rate for foreign employees. The homepage attributes its source material to law.go.kr and states that the content is not legal advice.
