Explain inflation expectations in korea compared to us


If the spot rate for the Won is 800 won equals 1 US $, and the annual interest rate on fixed rate one-year deposits of won is 9% and for US$ is 3%, what is the one-year forward rate for one won in terms of dollars? Assuming the same interest rates, what is the 8-month forward rate for one dollar in terms of won? Is this an indirect or a direct rate? If the forward rate is an accurate predictor of exchange rates, in this case will the won get stronger or weaker against the dollar? What does this indicate about inflation expectations in Korea compared to the US?
