An office building right in the middle of a business district in a capital city is a fantastic investment and a good way to diversify your income.

As for their foreign subsidiaries, I wouldn't expect this to affect them in any way. They won't be relocated to Seoul for the sake of it as it would not solve any real problem. Quite contrary. It would raise costs, complicate acquisition of talent and so on. These subsidiaries are semi-separate entities, operating independently for the most part. Every large corporation has those, including Microsoft, Google and other really big players, and it is natural for them to be spread across the globe.
