Why need financial proof when traveling to Korea?

Not only for Korea but also for countries with high income and living standard differentials, financial proof will help the Immigration Bureau find that you have the property, the job and are bound in relationships, which lead to you going to their home country in the short term (traveling, studying abroad, working, etc.). And if you prove financially successful, this will also be an important turning point for you to be granted a Korean visa.
