related parties financial

"due to the addition of related parties (Note1), its shareholding in Jeju Bank increased"

Related parties are people or organizations that have close ties to a company—such as owners, executives, family members, or other companies under common control—that can do business with it in ways a stranger would not. Investors care because deals between related parties can favor insiders, hide true costs or benefits, or mask risks; like a family agreeing on a price for a used car, these transactions may not reflect what an independent buyer would pay and can affect a company’s honesty about its finances.

foreign private issuer regulatory

"REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER PURSUANT TO RULE 13a-16"

A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.
