Yulchon assisted the client at all stages of the application process from the submission to the acquisition of preliminary and final MyData licenses. At each stage, Yulchon worked closely with the client to review and provide advice on legal issues involving the Personal Information Protection Act, the Act on Promotion of Utilization of Information and Communications Network, and the Credit Information Use and Protection Act concerning the client’s proposed business model, and the ‘enterprise group’ related issues under the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. Yulchon also advised the client regarding the IT infrastructure and cybersecurity requirement.
