Lee Chang-wook, head of the securities branch of the Korea Financial Industry Public Service Workers' Union, and union members shout slogans during a protest against the extension of stock trading hours in front of the Korea Exchange in the Yeouido district of Seoul, South Korea, on May 8, 2026. The union calls for the withdrawal of a proposed 12-hour trading system, citing concerns over labor conditions and system stability. Although the Korea Exchange postponed the implementation of pre- and after-market trading until September, workers continue to protest, arguing that starting market operations as early as 7 a.m. imposes an excessive burden on staff.
