Is Daiso a Japanese company or a Korean company?

A. 1

"700 billion sales, Daiso is a Japanese company? Actually..."
Chairman Park held a press conference at a restaurant in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 8th and stressed that "Daiso, a uniform household goods store, is an independent domestic company." "Daisoasung Industrial is a 100% independent Korean company that operates separately from Daiso in Japan and simply shares the brand name, and all employees are made up of Koreans," he explained.

Chairman Park said, "I am worried that Korea's Daiso is like Japan's Daiso through online or SNS recently, and that it supports some of its profits in the movement to turn Dokdo into a Takeshima."

"When the brand name was changed to Daiso in 2001, Daiso of Japan invested 34 percent in Daiso Castle Industries, but this was simply to share the brand and stabilize exports to Japan," he said. "There has been no royalty, profit allocation, and manpower dispatch to Daiso of Japan so far."

It's a question of how to judge whether it's a Korean company or a Japanese company.
In terms of equity ratio, Daiso of Japan invested 34.2%, and the remaining two-thirds of them invested in Korea, so it seems that the ratio is small, but most of them are not familiar with corporate analysis, but 34.2% is a major shareholder.
In the case of large companies, the ratio of major shareholders is often in the 10% range.
In fact, Hanil Manpower, the largest shareholder, owns 50.2 percent of the shares, and Park Jeong-bu, chairman of Daisoa Industrial, owns 13.9 percent of the shares.
They say they have not provided dividends or ryoyeolti now, but they can ask for dividends or royalties at any time with this level of major shareholder.

Whenever anti-Japanese sentiment spreads, Daiso Korea is recognized as a Japanese company and is in trouble. This is because Daiso uses the same brand as Daiso in Japan and actually invests 34.2% of its stake in Daisoa Sung Industries. Hanil Manpower, the largest shareholder, owns 50.2 percent of the shares, and the Park government owns 13.9 percent of the shares.

In 2013, Daiso Korea was in trouble on social networking services due to rumors that it was sponsoring some of its profits in the movement to turn Dokdo into a Takeshima.

I'm sorry about thisIso explained that it is not paying royalties and has never intervened in management or paid dividends. However, it was estimated that about 5 billion won was also paid to Daiso, Japan, as it provided cash dividends worth 15 billion won for the first time since its establishment in 2015.

In 2014, the Park administration held a press conference to correct the misunderstanding that it was a Japanese company and stressed, "We are indigenous," adding, "We are competing in good faith with Ildaiso."

In an interview with a media outlet in December 2014, he said, "I considered changing the brand because it was burdensome to share with Daiso in Japan, but I didn't change it because it was expensive and there was no problem enough to think it was a Japanese company."

"The Japanese side is not interfering in management, but we also considered acquiring Japanese shares or changing brands as Korea-Japan relations deteriorated," he said. "But we decided to maintain the trading relationship because we have to learn about Japan's ability to launch products."

In the case of many multinational companies like now, it is difficult to judge which country they belong to.
As exchanges between countries increase, if there are good business opportunities in other countries, they invest their shares
Because it can lead to development in the country.
Especially these days, foreign investment needs to be active to develop the country as a whole
Studies have shown that higher exchanges between each other significantly lower the incidence of war.

From that point of view, it is strange to say that it is possible to receive investment from other countries because it is an American company and not because it is a Japanese company.
In the case of Japan, it is better to bring peace to each other by complicating each other's interests through cooperation such as economic cooperation.
