  • Internet Beyond China
    INTERNET BEYOND CHINA While China’s internet success story has been well documented, other emerging countries have also shown great progress in terms of developing their digital economies, further helped by Covid-19. INTERVIEW SOUTH KOREA, CLOSEST TO CHINA IN E-COMMERCE E-commerce in South Korea recently came under the spotlight with Coupang’s successful IPO. South Korea has become the fifth largest e-commerce market with 106bn$ in sales, and has the second highest penetration rate behind China at 33%1. Market participants remain opti- mistic that penetration rate can still increase, pointing to various drivers such as low penetration in certain categories (groceries in particular) and the adoption of e-commerce by new users, especially in the over 40 de- mography. While Korea’s e-commerce market remains very fragmented, unlike the US or China, two players have emerged as leaders, Naver and KEVIN NET Coupang. Naver, which was facing competition in its legacy advertising Fund Manager business, expanded into e-commerce with the launch of its SmartStore, International Equities an online marketplace. Naver e-commerce GMW reached 28 trillion KRW in 2020, good for a 17.4% market share, and Naver management expects SmartStore GMV to grow 47% in 2021. Naver has been strengthening its e-commerce platform through partnerships, with CJ Logistics to bolster its delivery service, or most recently with E-Mart, the largest supermarket chain store in South Korea, in order to expand in the groceries vertical. Naver also developed a payment app, Naver Pay, which has helped Naver SmartStore growth. Coupang on the other hand, runs a B2C online plat- form, which generated between 22 and 24 trillion KRW in GMV in 2020.

  • Sustainable Development of a Mobile Payment Security Environment Using Fintech Solutions
    sustainability Article Sustainable Development of a Mobile Payment Security Environment Using Fintech Solutions Yoonyoung Hwang 1, Sangwook Park 1,* and Nina Shin 2,* 1 School of Business, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] 2 School of Business, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.P.); [email protected] (N.S.) Abstract: Financial technology (fintech) services have come to differentiate themselves from tradi- tional financial services by offering unique, niche, and customized services. Mobile payment service (MPS) has emerged as the most crucial fintech service. While many studies have addressed the essential role of security when service providers and users choose to engage in financial transactions, the relationship between users distinct perceptions of security and MPS success determinants are yet to be examined. Thus, this study primarily aims to uncover the distinctive roles of platform and tech- nology security by investigating how users react differently to their varying understandings of the MPS usage environment. This study proposes a research model comprising two security dimensions (platform and technology) and three MPS success determinants (convenience, interoperability, and trust). We evaluated the proposed model empirically by using an online survey of 356 users. The survey accounts users experiences of the selected MPS. The results show that a security driven MPS can essentially enhance or deteriorate users positive perceptions of MPS success determinants while they use it for financial transactions. To further understand how this recent trend of user perception of security affects the overall MPS usage experience, this study provides theoretical insights into the roles of platform and technology securities.

Abstract With the development of digital technology and various changes in the financial system, we are now living in a society where mobile payments such as Internet banking, Samsung Pay, and Alipay are common. However, the modern financial system has various side effects such as security, information cost, transaction stability, and maintenance cost due to its centralized system, and enormous technical and cost matters must be maintained and built. In other words, since the current financial payment system consists of a complex network that is organically coupled with each other, such as various institutions and companies, it is necessary to build a payment system that is compatible with each other, an authentication system for internal information exchange, and a messaging network.
