If you were to take a tour of Georgia’s largest factories, you’d notice that many share a common symbol flying overhead: a South Korean flag.
Known as the Taegeukgi, the flag has become commonplace across the Peach State as Korean businesses erect gigantic manufacturing facilities and hire thousands of workers. Hyundai Motor Group, Hanwha Qcells and SK Group have become household names in some corners of the state, employing the equivalent of small towns.
But that wasn’t always the case. It took decades of investment and recruitment before Korea emerged as one of Georgia’s most valuable international partners — one that remains top of mind for state leaders.
