Making Money Bitcoin Price Arbitrage Between Western and Korean Exchanges

This has been on my mind for some time now, and it baffles me how this is not being used or discussed more often. Having said that, do you guys have any thoughts on how best to take advantage of this price gap between western (~13k USD) and Korean (~20k USD) bitcoin prices? This also goes for some other alts that have a significant price gap.

How would one go about taking advantage of this price gap, in terms of fees, exchanges, transfer risks, legal problems in Korea, etc?

Cheers
