Transactions on online platforms also accounted for 30% of South Korea's total retail sales in 2020 , a significant increase from 24% in 2019 , affected by the new coronavirus and social distancing rules .

It also plans to train about 1,200 experts and open new graduate and learning courses by 2026 to meet the growing demand for online retail services.
The South Korean government said it will actively participate in the World Trade Organization ( WTO) negotiations on international rules in the field of e-commerce and help local companies establish deeper links with global retailers. But at the same time, as South Korean e-commerce companies maintain close ties with overseas, government departments will also strictly regulate online transactions of dangerous goods.
