Overall opinion

The report suggests operational continuity but meaningful employment risk. Public status signals are stable: the company is an active business, has operated for at least five years, and available hiring signals are active. However, the employer-side picture is weak: the employment stability category is 0/100, NPS history shows recent churn, headcount fell from 22 in August 2025 to 18 in May 2026, and the report flags below-industry average salary. Financially, official 2021–2022 filings show revenue growth but negative operating profit and weakening operating profit, while later third-party financial signals are mixed. Overall, this is not enough to support a comfortable 10-year stay without interview-level verification of runway, turnover, compensation, and role stability.

Immediate red flags
  • Financial trend is weakening.
  • Employment trend is weak.

Decision notes

Positives

  • The company is listed as an active NTS/Hometax business and normal FTC ecommerce operator.
  • The company has operated for at least five years.
  • Revenue increased across the available official financial history from 2021 to 2022.
  • Debt ratio improved sharply in the available official filings, from 126% in 2021 to 4% in 2022.
  • Hiring velocity is reported as high, with two apparently open roles on the official recruiting page and active recent hiring signals from a third-party source.

Risks

  • Overall score is 33/100 with medium confidence, and the report verdict is to avoid.
  • Employment stability is scored 0/100, with high estimated attrition, recent churn, and headcount decline across NPS history.
  • NPS subscribers declined from 22 in August 2025 to 18 in May 2026, and the report states headcount is 18% below its available peak.
  • Official 2021 and 2022 financial filings show negative operating profit, and the operating profit trend weakened from -491 million KRW to -847 million KRW.
  • Reported average salary is below the industry average, and the employer quality data includes official average annual salary of 0 KRW and official average tenure of 0 years, which should be treated as a data-quality or coverage issue rather than a literal compensation conclusion.

Next checks

  • Ask directly about overtime expectations, recent turnover, and whether the role is a backfill or new headcount.
  • Ask for current headcount, team-level turnover, and why NPS subscribers declined to 18 by May 2026.
  • Verify current compensation bands against market rates, because the report flags below-industry average salary and official salary fields appear unusable.
  • Ask about 2025 and current-year profitability, cash runway, and whether operating losses from earlier filings have been resolved.
  • Clarify hiring urgency and role stability, since open-role counts differ by platform.
