Kaohsiung Business Pulse
- Culture Industrial, pragmatic, and more relaxed than Taipei. A major port and manufacturing hub.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Kaohsiung business is practical and trade-oriented. While hierarchy is respected, the vibe can be slightly more informal than in Taipei. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch and rest window strictly for all professional calls.
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.
