Korea Market Entry & B2B Partnerships | Korean-English Interpreter Minsun Cho

About

9 years inside Korea's top corporations and government

I am Minsun Cho, founder of All About Connecting / Connecting Interpretation. I help global businesses enter and grow in Korea — through Korean-English interpretation, market entry consulting, B2B development, and strategic introductions.

Over 9+ years, I have interpreted in some of Korea's most demanding settings — from the APEC Korea 2025 Summit (JTBC live broadcast) and the Korea-US-Japan Trilateral Summit to investor meetings, technical seminars, IR pitches, and government-led forums. This depth of access translates into real understanding of how Korean business actually works.

2,000+ projects across IT, AI, blockchain, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, finance, and government. That breadth gives me something rare: a working map of Korea's business landscape, the people who shape it, and how decisions actually get made.

Deep expertise across IT, AI, blockchain, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing Direct experience with IR pitches, VC meetings, and global investor relations Trusted relationships across Korean conglomerates, government, and SMEs End-to-end Korea entry support — from research to introductions to deal closing

※ Response Notice ※
