A delegation of Maryland officials, including First Lady Yumi Hogan, have wooed two more Korean-headquartered businesses — Fasoo.com, Inc. and Green Cross Cell — to locate offices in Maryland.

In regards to Fasoo.com, Inc. The Herald Mail reports:

While headquartered in Seoul, its North American arm was based in Sunnyvale, Calif., from 2012 until 2014, when the company moved to East Brunswick, N.J. The company moved to Bethesda, Md., in late September, bringing seven employees.

“The quality of the Maryland workforce is why we’re moving from New Jersey. The high concentration of skilled and experienced information-security professionals in the corridor between Washington, D.C., and Fort Meade is one of the biggest factors in the decision to shift our North American operations,” Cho Kyu-gon, Fasoo’s founder, chairman and chief executive officer, said in a news release.
