The tax status of an individual in Korea is determined by their residency. If a person is not a legal resident of Korea, they are considered a non-resident.

Non-resident individuals are taxed exclusively on the income they earn from sources within the territory of Korea. This means that any income generated outside of Korea is not taxed in the country.

When it comes to cryptocurrency, the tax rules for non-residents and residents remain the same. Cryptocurrency transactions that occur within Korea are taxed accordingly, depending on the individual's residency status.
