On September 14, the Korea Exchange officially launched after-hours trading, effective from Beijing time on September 14. The regular trading hours remain from 9 AM to 3:30 PM. With the implementation of the new system, investors can continue trading until 8 PM after the regular market closes. Regarding pre-market trading, the Korea Exchange has postponed the launch of the pre-market due to feedback from the securities industry about the significant burden of IT system development and personnel operations, now scheduled for the end of 2027. Concerning the market's interest in whether Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs) will be included in after-hours trading, the Korea Exchange stated that, due to concerns about market volatility, ETFs and ETNs will not be included in after-hours trading for the time being.
