Both parties locked in a new divvy-tax top band: a KRW 5bn+ lane getting hit with a 30% take-rate, though the real cap is basically 25% since almost nobody clears that bar. Only ~100 people booked 5bn+ last year. Structure stays 14%/20%/25% then 30% up top. Goes live next year, and only applies to firms with a 25% payout last year and >10% YoY divvy growth.
