Munteok provides regulatory information and threshold analysis, and acts as a designated domestic agent where a client appoints us under Article 31-2 of the Game Industry Act. A domestic agent is a statutory contact and compliance role, not legal representation. We do not provide legal advice or legal opinions, and we do not represent you in disputes. Where a filing or a legal opinion is needed, partnered licensed Korean professionals take over.
