◾️There is high demand for Korean products in Japan
The reason for the high demand for Korean products in Japan is that the Korean government is focusing on manufacturing, and many items can be purchased at more affordable prices than in Japan.
Additionally, Korean apparel products come in a wide variety of designs that are not available in Japanese stores, and an increasing number of Japanese people are looking to Korean fashion models for their attractive designs.
Furthermore, with the arrival of the fourth Korean wave, including the global popularity of BTS, demand for Korean food, known as K-food, is also on the rise.
◾️How to purchase Korean products
Here we will explain in detail how to purchase Korean products.
☆Purchase online
The advantage is that even people who don't understand Korean can use the site to purchase Korean products.
You may also be able to use promotional photos of your products in your own online store.
On the other hand, the disadvantage is that you have to pay shipping fees when purchasing, and it takes time for the goods to arrive.
☆ Purchase offline
The advantage is that you can see the actual product and you have a higher chance of finding a bargain.
On the other hand, travel and accommodation costs are enormous.
Furthermore, the fact that purchasing goods takes a huge amount of time and that 90% of vendors only accept cash payment is also a disadvantage.
