Yulchon successfully hosted a private seminar and networking event on March 11 and 12 in Singapore.

Under the theme "Korea 2026: Managing Corporate Crises Under the New Administration’s Shifting Policies," the seminar provided an in-depth exploration of how changes in Korea's regulatory landscape impact global businesses and offered strategic frameworks for corporate crisis management.

Moderated by Mr. Myung Jae LEE, the event featured insightful presentations followed by a networking luncheon.

The seminar consisted of two main chapters, the first of which was titled "How the New Political Direction Impacts Foreign Businesses in Korea". In this session, Yulchon partners presented major updates across key practices for 2026:

1. Data Privacy & Cybersecurity: Ms. Sun Hee KIM discussed major amendments to the Personal Information Protection Act for 2026 and corresponding corporate response strategies.
2. Antitrust/Competition: Mr. Keon Woong KIM shared insights into the latest monitoring trends and the "regulatory reset" from the Korea Fair Trade Commission.
3. Dispute Resolution: Ms. Sy Nae KIM explained significant shifts in domestic litigation, including the codification of Attorney-Client Privilege (ACP) and the introduction of K-Discovery.
4. Tax: Mr. Kyu Dong KIM highlighted key tax amendments and shifts in tax policy relevant to global multinational enterprises (MNEs)

The second session, "How Global Companies Can Avoid and Manage Corporate Crisis in Korea," utilized an illustrative case study to provide a step-by-step guide to crisis management. During this session, Ms. Sun Hee KIM, Mr. Keon Woong KIM, Mr. Yong Whan CHOI, and Ms. Sy Nae KIM jointly presented practical safeguards and strategic responses for every phase of a corporate crisis.

Yulchon has been hosting this event in Singapore annually since 2024, now marking its third consecutive year. Yulchon is delighted to share the latest Korean regulatory issues with our clients in Singapore, providing timely insights into Korea’s dynamic regulatory environment, further solidifying our long-term relationships in the region.
