Pretty cool that they plan to legalize and regulate by 2017!

I would assume it has been working well for Japan, we don't hear about any problems, which is a good thing!

Korea has over 800,000 foreign workers. With just foreign workers alone, Korean remittance services processed 840,000 transactions (4.4 billion USD) per annum.
Would boost and benefit Korea quite well.
