SK Hynix Heads to Revote on Bonus Plan as Peers Diverge on Pay

SK Hynix's performance bonus plan is headed for a revote after labor and management agreed to pay the full amount in cash when PS falls below 1000% of base salary. Meanwhile, peers such as Samsung are diverging on pay proposals. A prolonged bonus dispute could weigh on employee morale and production stability, though markets generally treat it as a neutral governance matter.
