Korea Market Intelligence

The problem
Accessing accurate Korean market data is difficult due to fragmented government portals, language barriers, and non-standardized APIs. Developers often struggle to programmatically retrieve official demographic stats, business licenses, or property valuations without deep local knowledge.

What it does
Retrieves official KOSIS statistics for population, employment, and consumer price indices.
Queries LOCALDATA for business operating status, license dates, and closure records across industries like retail and healthcare.
Normalizes Korean addresses into official road-name, jibun, and English-form formats with postcodes.
Fetches historical official housing prices for apartments and individual houses.
Frameworks & tools
Node.js 18+, npx, KOSIS Open API, and the @nomadamas/k-skill runtime.

Why this beats prompting it yourself
LLMs lack real-time access to the specific structures of Korean public databases and often hallucinate address formats. This skill provides a verified routing layer that pulls live data from official sources, ensuring your research is based on current government records rather than stale training data.

Use cases
Perform due diligence on Korean business partners by checking license status.
Conduct demographic research for site selection or market entry strategy.
Automate address normalization for logistics or CRM data cleaning.
Analyze property value trends for real estate investment modeling.
