Korean Media: Firms with 500B Won Market Cap Need Buybacks Over 10B Won

Chosun Ilbo reported that South Korea is pushing a rule requiring companies with a market capitalization above 500 billion won to conduct buybacks exceeding 10 billion won. Large listed firms such as SK hynix could face clearer shareholder-return requirements; if enacted, the policy may improve governance expectations and support valuations, though the strength and timing of enforcement remain unclear, keeping the near-term impact neutral.
