Could you point out some problems companies have when localizing for Korea? Being able to point out how others have failed, and how you can help us succeed would be a great argument for hiring you. (note: I'm not in a position to hire anyone at the moment)

Also, I spoke to a Brazilian guy a few years ago. He said he took an idea from an American website, translated it to Brazilian had a profitable business in no time.

In addition the obvious language barrier, different culture and law/regulations are the biggest difficulties I can think of.

I don't know about the failed cases, but a handful of big companies tried to expand to Korea and succeeded (e.g. AirBnB, Uber, League of Legends, Clash of Clans). I still wonder how they managed to expand to Korea. Maybe someone like me reached out to them?

Anyway, I thought medium, smaller companies or even indie game developers may want to hire someone like me and hopefully grow together.
