PAID CONSULTATION
This stage designs the documents, sequence, and supporting arguments for your matter.
KRW 33,000 ~ 55,000 · Fully deducted upon engagement
30 minutes · KRW 33,000–55,000. A long-form email is simply the written mode of a 30-minute paid consultation: one consolidated case-specific answer, not an independent document-comparison report.
Quick Check examines one agreed issue using up to two organized records and delivers a 1–2 page Brief Administrative Review Opinion covering the request, verified facts, applicable rules, assessment, next steps and conclusion. Its fee is separately quoted by product.
Choose Quick Check or Detailed Review for a standalone report. For an actual filing, engage an integrated package that includes necessary initial review, administrative document preparation and agreed submission. A separate formal report can be included in one combined quotation if required. No review purchase is mandatory. Displayed fees include VAT; whether government charges and external expenses are included is confirmed before engagement.
₩33,000 covers one focused 30-minute consultation without advance document reading. ₩55,000 covers one issue with advance reading of up to two organized key records and a 30-minute explanation. The same scope applies to one long-form email reply. Neither includes a standalone document-comparison report.

These general examples explain our review approach. They are not reproductions of a client's advisory opinion, success stories, or accounts of the matters described in testimonials. The actual scope depends on the inquiry and engagement.
A free review provides initial direction. Detailed document changes and an individual preparation strategy belong to paid consultation. These examples do not promise a written report for every inquiry.
Lectures and educational activities are separate from client engagements.
