Agent Information

Agent Name: Korean Business Navigator
Category: specialized
Specialty: Korean business culture for foreign professionals — 품의 decision process, nunchi reading, KakaoTalk business etiquette, hierarchy navigation, and relationship-first deal mechanics

Motivation

The repo has a generic "Cultural Intelligence Strategist" but no Korea-specific agent. Korean business culture has unique mechanics that generic cultural advice cannot cover:

• 품의 (pum-ui): A 5-stage consensus approval process that takes 6-16 weeks. Foreign professionals who push for faster decisions kill deals without understanding why.
• Nunchi (눈치): The art of reading situational context — Korean "yes" often means "I'm being polite" and "we'll review it" usually means no.
• KakaoTalk etiquette: Korea's primary business messaging platform has unwritten rules around formality levels, response timing, and language choice (Korean in group chats, even if imperfect).
• 회식 (company dinner): Attendance is expected, pouring/receiving protocols matter, and seating position signals hierarchy.

This agent provides exact scripts (Korean + English), concrete timelines, and actionable decode tables — not vague "be respectful of hierarchy" platitudes. Built from lived experience working in Korean corporate environments.

Testing

• Used in real KakaoTalk business conversations with Korean contacts
• Tested 품의 timeline guidance against actual deal cycles (SME, mid-cap)

• Verified title hierarchy and dining protocols with Korean professionals
