Korean consumers even influence global retail. Gymboree, a popular American children’s apparel corporation once blocked Korean access to its websites, but it didn’t take long for fierce competition to convince them to open their market. New business models are created with the trend as well. For example, Creget, a Korean website, allows consumers to compare Korean prices with those of foreign online companies.

“It is the nation’s first website that offers price comparisons to online retailers in the U.S. and Europe,” Creget CEO Choi Se-yoeng said.

In her recent report, researcher Kim Na-kyung at LG Economic Research Institute explained why Koreans are fond of purchasing through foreign websites.

“The lifestyle of Koreans is closely related to the Internet, so they have no difficulty in dealing with it. Lingering economic recession also encourages them to make a practical choice,” the researcher said.
