Written by someone who has actually bought property at a Korean court auction, run leveraged ETFs through a market cycle, and managed a self-directed Korean retirement account — not just read about it.
Korea Wealth Brief is written for overseas Koreans, second-generation Korean diaspora, and foreigners who want to understand how money actually works in Korea — real estate auctions, property purchases, ETFs, taxes, and retirement accounts. Most English-language coverage of Korean investing stops at the surface. This newsletter doesn’t. It’s written by someone who has gone through a Korean real estate auction as a creditor and collected on it, co-authored a published book on auction investing, and has personally run leveraged ETF positions and a self-directed Korean retirement account for years. Every issue is built from direct experience — not theory, not a press release rewrite. When something is a rule of thumb rather than a guarantee, we say so.
