Busan Business Pulse
- Culture Dynamic, industrial, and more direct than Seoul. A major maritime and trade hub.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Professionals in Busan are known for being more direct and expressive than in Seoul. The maritime and logistics sectors are very active. Hierarchy and punctuality are still strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
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.
