Hong Kong Business Pulse

  • Culture Fast-paced, efficient, and highly international. Values both Western efficiency and Eastern heritage.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM or 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM lunch hour. Business is fast and professional; be prepared with your data and ready to make decisions. Like Singapore, punctuality and professional titles are highly respected.

Seoul Business Pulse

  • Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
