Hong Kong vs. Korea

Considering my options post-banking analyst program and working in Asia is something I am seriously looking into. I'm Korean and have always wanted to work and live in Korea while I was young. But the prospects of working in HK and potentially being more exposed to trades in mainland China/HK/Sing/greater-Asia are very appealing.

One obvious option is to do both since I'm still in the development stages of my career.

Thoughts, inputs?
