Last update: 12 hours agoMarkets & Economy: South Korea is extending stock trading hours on the Korea Exchange from Monday, letting investors trade nearly all local stocks until 8 p.m. after the 3:30 p.m. close—an unusual move in Asia aimed at pulling in more global participation and testing whether after-hours liquidity can hold. Security & Diplomacy: Seoul is facing fresh public backlash over possible involvement in the Strait of Hormuz, with civil society opposition and polls showing even many Lee supporters against dispatching forces, even as the government continues behind-the-scenes deployment preparations. North Korea: North Korea has removed “unification” language from its Workers’ Party charter, further cementing Kim Jong-un’s rule and treating the two Koreas as separate states. Local Oversight: Gangnam District will inspect 158 fee-charging job placement agencies through Nov. 27, focusing on excessive fees, false ads, advance payments, and required insurance. Culture: Denmark-set drama “Woman Unknown” won the Golden Lion at the 83rd Venice Film Festival, while John Malkovich took best actor for “Wild Horse Nine.” Sports (Seoul angle): South Korea’s men’s basketball team finished atop Group A at the Asian Games after beating Japan 100-83.
