1. I'd use "Korea's main industry". I'd remove "business".
2. You need an article at the beginning of the third sentence.

We usually refer to "internet speeds" - it is unlikely that everyone in the country gets the same speed. "lifestyle" is just one word.

For 1, when do you use A of B and B's A respectively?

I'm never keen on "the XXX of XXX" when a standard possessive (apostrophe + s) will do. If you want to start with "the main industry", I'd follow it with "in Korea".

Korea's main industry is IT? It isn't cars? Or cellphones?
