Korean Culture & Customs
김영란법
gim-yeong-nan-beop
anti-graft law
The 김영란법 (Improper Solicitation and Graft Act) caps meals and gifts to public officials, teachers, and journalists when there is 직무 관련성 (job relevance). It reshaped gift-giving — set holiday gift boxes and dinners are now carefully priced to stay legal.
