Korea Exchange pushes for 12-hour extension of stock trading hours… Over 9,000 individual investors protest

The Korea Exchange's push to extend stock market trading hours by 12 hours is facing strong backlash from individual investors. The Exchange cited the need to respond to global liquidity competition, but the Korea Federation of Stock Investors (KOFSI) fears a deepening of the 'tilted playing field' that favors foreign investors. Over 9,000 people have signed a National Assembly petition in agreement.
