SK Hynix Bonus Gap: $1,700 for Korea Staff, Taiwan Employees Capped at 50% of Base Pay

FTNN News reported that SK Hynix paid about 17 million won in bonuses to Korean staff, while Taiwan employees say their bonus is capped at 50% of base pay, sparking debate over regional pay disparity. As a labor and HR issue, the near-term stock impact is limited, but if the controversy grows it could affect overseas talent recruitment and employee morale, making the company's response worth watching.
