working remote and leaving Japan occasionally

I have a 5 years visa I am planning to visit Korea every two weeks, once a month and make sure to keep it less than 180 days per year.
Since my work is remote, I will work from Korea but wondering if I will get in trouble making multiple trips (like 10 times a year)

  1. There’s no problem leaving the country while on a work visa as long as it’s not interfering with your job. I’d be more worried about the Korean side – is it legal for you to work in Korea?

  2. I’m pretty certain working remotely in Korea as a tourist is not legal. There is a digital nomad visa in the works that will allow this eventually but it needs to be applied for properly to do so.

  3. Wait is it 180 days?
    I asked similar question before here , many states 90 days.
    I am leaving Japan this month for about 3 months(will be working remotely) so its just basically location change only but work, tax payment and all everything remains same.
    I have done this before but it was about a month. But this time will be going for about 3 months(less than 90 days)
    Can you provide source where it says 180 days?
    I have same kind of visa like yours and will be applying for pr next year as it touches 10 year stay here in Japan
