Labour-management agendas in South Korea\'s game industry are expanding beyond wages and bonuses to include spinoffs, mergers and acquisitions, and AI adoption. Unions are increasingly seeking not only job security after business restructuring but also prior consultation during decision-making. A newly launched Wemade union has called for talks ahead of major strategy shifts and protections tied to shareholder changes. Industry-wide demands have also emerged, alongside growing concerns about AI-driven job insecurity and profit-sharing rules.

A KCTU-affiliated labour union has been formed at South Korean game company Wemade ahead of a planned change in its largest shareholder. The union said it will prepare for collective bargaining, seeking job security, improved working conditions and the continuation of key businesses. It cited growing anxiety among employees as Chairman Park Kwan-ho sells his entire stake. The union also raised concerns about management uncertainty linked to performance and WEMIX issues.
