Anthropic appointed KiYoung Choi as Representative Director of Korea before opening its Seoul office. The company says Korea is one of Claude.ai’s most active markets, with usage over 3.5 times what population size would predict and concentrated in technical and creative work. Choi, formerly Snowflake Korea GM, will lead local go-to-market efforts across enterprises, startups, government, research institutions, and developers.
On May 26, 2026, Anthropic announced the appointment of KiYoung Choi as its Representative Director in Korea, timed just ahead of the official opening of its Seoul office. The focus of this announcement is not a new model or new feature, but Anthropic's localized investment in the Korean market. The company said Korea is one of the most active markets for Claude.ai usage worldwide; according to the Anthropic Economic Index, the rate at which Koreans use Claude is more than 3.5 times higher than what would be expected based on population size, and usage skews clearly toward technical and creative work. The significance for Taiwanese readers is that Anthropic is shifting the focus of its growth in Asia from simply providing a product to building local teams, enterprise partnerships, and public-sector engagement.
