South Korean securities trading platforms will add after-hours trading until 8 PM starting today.

Tapbit news, September 14, Beijing time September 14, the Korea Exchange officially launched after-hours trading. The regular stock trading session remains from 9 AM to 3:30 PM. After the new system is implemented, investors can continue trading until 8 PM after the exchange's regular close. Regarding pre-market trading, due to the securities industry's feedback on the significant burden of IT system development and personnel operations, the Korea Exchange has postponed the pre-market session, originally scheduled to launch simultaneously today, to the end of 2027. As for whether ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and ETNs (exchange-traded notes), which are of market concern, will be included in after-hours trading, out of consideration for market volatility, the Korea Exchange stated that ETFs and ETNs will not be included in after-hours trading for the time being.
