Due to the principle of territoriality under international law, the laws of each country cannot be applied or enforced beyond its borders. Therefore, foreign companies headquartered abroad, foreign-invested companies, and foreign embassies are subject to Korean labor laws.

However, there is often a significant gap between the labor laws of the home country, which the headquarters or investors are familiar with, and Korean labor laws, which create difficulties for HR managers. In particular, HR managers must understand the labor laws of their home country and the direction of their investors' HR policies, accurately understand Korean labor laws, and find a reasonable intersection between standardization and localization policies.
