Seoul is portrayed as a key political, military, and economic center in South Korea. It plays a role in international trade disputes with the U.S., particularly concerning market practices affecting companies like Coupang. The city is also involved in defense matters, including military responses to incursions by China and Russia, and has become a hub for tech companies such as Anthropic due to geopolitical dynamics around AI technology.
