OpenAI to Establish First Office in Seoul

OpenAI is set to open its first office in Seoul, marking its entry into the South Korean market as interest in ChatGPT grows.

OpenAI plans to open its first office in Seoul, marking its initial direct presence in South Korea. This move comes as South Korea becomes a significant market for OpenAI, with the country having the second-largest base of paying ChatGPT users globally, following the United States.

Jason Kwon, OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer, announced during a press conference in Seoul that the company has established a legal entity in Korea and will soon commence full-scale operations. OpenAI aims to deepen collaboration with local policymakers, companies, developers, and researchers on AI infrastructure.

OpenAI has already formed partnerships with South Korean companies such as Kakao, Krafton, and SK Telecom to deploy advanced AI technologies. The company is also exploring local data storage options with providers like Oracle and Microsoft, although specific plans for a domestic data center have not been confirmed.

Recruitment efforts are underway as OpenAI seeks talent to lead local partnerships and collaborations. Additional details on specific initiatives are expected to be disclosed in the coming months as the company builds out its Korean operations.
