When I first started travelling to the US, I was carefully coached by US HR and Legal to say I was on “business” as in meetings, and not “work.”
I suspect the subtle difference was not understood by the Koreans.
A shoddy way and shortsighted to deal with companies which are investing in your country.

Were you actually there for "meetings"? or actually doing stuff like writing reports?
Trust me, no one in my role thought travelling once a quarter through EWR was a privilege. Haven’t had to visit for ten years and will never have to again, thank goodness.
