Summary

Korea's National Assembly passed an amendment to the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act on April 23, 2026, expanding the Korea Fair Trade Commission from 9 to 11 members. The change adds one standing and one non-standing commissioner. KFTC annual case volume has nearly doubled from roughly 1,300 cases in the 1990s to about 2,400 cases in recent years, while commissioner numbers remained unchanged since 1997.

What changed

The National Assembly passed an amendment to Korea's Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act that increases KFTC commissioners from 9 (5 standing, 4 non-standing) to 11 (6 standing, 5 non-standing) members. This is the first expansion since 1997. The amendment is intended to address a near-doubling of annual case volume from roughly 1,300 in the 1990s to 2,400 in recent years while maintaining review quality. The bill now awaits Cabinet approval and promulgation before taking immediate effect.

Korean businesses subject to KFTC jurisdiction should anticipate more rapid case processing as the expanded commission is better positioned to handle the current caseload. The structural changeβ€”adding one standing and one non-standing commissionerβ€”may also affect the composition and dynamics of commission deliberations going forward.
