What if the large company isn't Korean? Although Lotte operates in Korea as well, as you said it was founded in Japan, and is now an international conglomerate, not a Korean company. Is Carrefour a Korean company because it operates in Korea as well? (Obviously I understand that Lotte was started by an ethnic Korean, but it was and still is based in Japan.) Also found this in the Japanese article:
