Myanmar Sends 124 Workers to South Korea, First Woman Included

Myanmar has sent 124 new workers to South Korea under the Employment Permit System (EPS), marking a milestone as the first woman joins the programme.

According to the Myanmar Embassy in South Korea, the group comprises 58 manufacturing workers, 25 forestry workers, 19 construction workers, 7 service workers—including the first female participant—and 15 agriculture and livestock workers.

They arrived at Incheon International Airport on 19 March aboard a Myanmar National Airlines chartered flight from Yangon. Upon arrival, Myanmar’s labour attaché in Seoul welcomed them, offering guidance and assistance to help them settle into their new roles.

The EPS system, designed to regulate foreign employment in South Korea, continues to provide job opportunities for Myanmar workers, strengthening economic ties between the two nations.
