Can Apple stay afloat in Samsung's home country? It's certainly trying.
The tech company has hired a new general manager for its Korean division who knows the ins and outs of the market -- and the competition.

At Samsung, Yoon was responsible for overseeing digital strategy, e-commerce, marketing, social media, and new business incubation, according to his LinkedIn profile. He left Samsung in March.
As a general manager, Yoon will take on a broad administrative role, including setting and re-evaluating long-term company goals, overseeing business strategies, and managing senior staff, according to job descriptions from Monster and the Harvard Business Review.

Apple had 18 percent of the country's smartphone market last year, trailing far behind Samsung's 56 percent. South Korea was also part of the onslaught of lawsuits that Apple faced in December for purposefully slowing down older phones with iOS 11. Korean police raided the company's offices in November, ahead of the iPhone X's launch to ask "questions about its business practices" according to Metro.
But Apple is attempting to repair the relationship and gain a foothold, as we saw with the opening of the first Korean Apple store in January. Poaching a Samsung executive is yet another step.
