Shinhan Securities ran a Korea capital markets field experience programme for a training group from the Korea Studies Institute at George Washington University in the United States. The company said on May 25 it held the programme on May 22 for participants in the institute’s 2026 Summer Study Abroad Program. The short course runs from May 17 to May 30 and includes 12 participants, including students and a supervising professor.

Foreign integrated account services that allow overseas retail investors to trade Korean stocks through local brokerage apps are expanding. Samsung Securities has launched a service with Interactive Brokers, while Hana Securities and Meritz Securities are widening partnerships in Asia and preparing a launch with Webull. Authorities have eased related rules, including scrapping the foreign investor registration system. Markets expect the change to raise accessibility over time rather than immediately shift flows.
