The change adds one standing and one non-standing commissioner.

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 changeβadding one standing and one non-standing commissionerβmay also affect the composition and dynamics of commission deliberations going forward.
