Lee Su-jin, a certified labor attorney and lawyer, published a video on May 25, 2026, as part of a series titled "Lee Su-jin's Labor Law Reading Room." In the video, she discussed the scope of application of the Labor Standards Act, focusing on the meaning of "business or workplace" as defined by case precedent. She explained that a business generally refers to a management-integrated enterprise, while a workplace is a unit location where continuous, organically related social activities occur. Su-jin stated that for foreign companies operating in South Korea, the Labor Standards Act applies based on the number of workers employed domestically, and that separate legal entities are generally considered distinct businesses unless they operate as a single economic and social unit with integrated management and personnel practices.
“The dream is bigger than the fear.”
“We had to adapt because we had no other option, so we had to endure and adapt.”
“We made a business plan before coming here, and upon arrival, we started looking for a location everywhere.”
“We didn't know how to cost at that time; we were just students with passion but no strategy.”
“We had to close completely for about a week, and then we were allowed to sell takeout food.”
“We have to have a more calm, more secure plan because we are very risky, to be honest.”
“The success and happiness is living day by day with the greatest effort you can make.”
“We are representing my country here.”
“Even worse, the economy is entering a recession period according to various economic indicators such as stock prices or economic survey indexes; the global economy appears to have entered a phase of slowdown or stagnation, which means it is very difficult for the economy to improve throughout 2023.”
“The most remarkable change in our society is that the typical is disappearing; if the average is divided and effectively ceases to exist, it suggests that customized, tailored, narrow-down targets are probably a better approach.”
