With the rise in global investing, more Koreans are purchasing overseas stocks.
But too often, investors focus solely on profits—
ignoring taxes and currency risks that can eat into gains.
Understanding these two key areas is essential for long-term success.

When selling foreign stocks, capital gains over KRW 2.5 million are taxed at 22%.
This must be declared separately in May every year.
