Also it is illegal in Korea doing that.

Good luck on finding Korean who wanna do that with gaining only 50%.

If Koreans do it with their money they can get 100%, why would they do that for you?

seems like some people take koreans for idiots for letting them take all the risk and get only 50% of the spoil...

Agreed.
Still the premium is too low.

Yes for now it isn't worth to take the risk actually it isn't high for profit also.

Back in 2017 if I remember, the premium was 10%-20% for month after month, with billions being traded. Some people must have made a lot of money by knowing how to convert large sums of KWR back to BTC (presumably via USD).

My guess was by exporting electronics or something similar. USD -> US exchange -> BTC -> KR exchange -> KRW -> electronics -> ship to USA -> USD. Of course a very friendly banker might provide an easier route.

Non-Koreans can't trade on Korean crypto exchanges any more (but maybe can own a Korean company that does?). Iran and Venezuela seem to have a premium for obvious reasons, but again it's hard to trade the loop.

This interview is a good one on the japan premium trade (starts talking about it at 23 mins), but yeah I'm sure some people got round the closed off KRW.

Companies can trade cryptocurrency but cannot deposit or withdraw KRW.

Foreigners with proper VISA can trade.
But I don't know if it is hard for foreigners to get bank account in Korea.

That is an interesting approach. Allow crypto in principle but isolate it from the official currency.

They can with a residence card and proof of employment. I don't think it's easy to convert large amounts of KRW to USD at the published exchange rates. Hence my guess that you would buy some other commodity to export.

I've had luck when some specific crypto is more popular in one country than another. e.g. OMG had quite a premium over BTC in SE Asia for a while. Then XRP. It's much easier to trade something like BTC -> US Exchange -> OMG -> Asian Exchange -> BTC than involve fiat currency, but the spreads and volumes tend to be smaller.

Kimchi premium could be very lucrative (as SBF has done with Japan) but its very hard to legally exit KRW and close the loop unless you set up some export company and withdraw over long duration...
