According to Pieter Stalenhoef, the major bright spot in the South Korean market is the improved transparency provided by a newly implemented external audit law.

A number of issues had earlier been affecting the economic situation including the fact that Korea’s export-driven economy is being slowed down by escalation of the US-China trade war. Another unofficial barriers was China making an informal ban of television appearances and group tour packages by Korean celebrities.
