AB  - The  ongoing  digital  transformation  is  having  an  increasing  impact  on  the economy and society, and the current Covid-19 pandemic seems to accelerate this process. In this paper, we take a look at the implications of the digital transformation in the areas of the health care system, the working  world  and  education  in  Germany  and  South  Korea.  First,  we  introduce the terminology and emphasize the importance of the digital transformation for the economy and society. Then the paper deals with the opportunities and challenges of the digital transformation in each area  in  both  countries.  Overall,  we  conclude  that  the  opportunities  of  the digital transformation can only be exploited if a nation-wide, state-of-the-art digital infrastructure is in place. In the healthcare sector, there is a need for more research, but especially a shift towards higher public acceptance  of  digital  healthcare  seems  necessary.  In  the  workplace,  the  digital  transformation  leads  to  more  telework,  which  needs  to  be  accompanied by training and a legal framework. In education, the use of digital technologies in classrooms should be promoted more strongly and digital skills/digital literacy should become part of the curriculum. In addition to the numerous opportunities, both countries face several challenges that have to be overcome.
