Crazy that only Koreans are eligible for bounty rewards. Someone is going to put their morals aside in the future and their customers are going to be the victims. Also I’m pretty sure a large part of government officials in Korea use KakaoTalk?

But hey at least they actually took action…




It is rather strange isn't it? After all it seems like author of the article isn't Korean, would benefit KakaoTalk to just pay a bounty to him.

KakaoTalk is huge. Can't do anything in Korea without it.


I think this news will trigger a change


Taxes?


Non-Koreans who live and work in South Korea pay South Korean taxes


Don't think most Digital Nomads in South Korea pay any South Korean taxes


There are many non-Korean non-digital-nomads living and working in South Korea who do pay taxes. Millions, actually. South Korea has a very large international residency.
