Background and Vision
GTS Advisory Inc. (Headquarters: Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea;
Representative Director & CEO: Masahiro Kimura) is pleased to announce that it officially commenced operations on January 9, 2026, as a cross-border consulting firm specializing in Japan-Korea business.
For Japanese and Korean companies to cross borders and create true synergies, mere paperwork or superficial matching is not enough. Operating as a "Maestro" who harmonizes diverse business elements, GTS Advisory bridges the cultural, economic, and legal gaps between the two nations. We provide "hands-on" support that penetrates deeply into our clients' internal organizations, ranging from strategic planning for top management to dedicated execution in site operations.
Core Value Proposition (Key Business Features)
By establishing a robust network with top-tier specialists (lawyers, tax accountants, certified public accountants, etc.) in both Japan and Korea, we provide "Connecting the Dots" solutions in the following areas:
- Hands-on support for Japanese companies entering and expanding in the Korean market
- Alliance building and market entry support for Korean companies entering Japan
- Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and management optimization for overseas branches
- Japan-Korea regional revitalization and public-private partnership projects
- Cross-border legal, tax, contractual, and M&A advisory
Message from the CEO
Leveraging 30 years of experience in new business development and high-level negotiations at samsung and a major trading house/Sojitz and global enterprises, GTS Advisory serves not as an "external advisor" but as the "ultimate strategist" embedded within our clients' organizations. Starting from our Seoul headquarters, we will sequentially expand our activities in major Japanese cities, including Tokyo and Osaka, dedicated to acting as the premier bridge for Japan-Korea business.
