South Korea's Financial Services Commission will introduce a system requiring cornerstone investors in IPOs to commit to at least six-month lockups. This aims to prevent sharp post-listing price drops by allowing advance share allocation to stable, long-term institutional buyers. The new rules, approved by the government, take effect on November 13 alongside capital market law amendments, addressing Korea's volatile stock market and recent disappointing IPO performances.
