Let’s take a look first at the 'The Korea Exchange '(KRX).

In 1956, the Korean stock market opened with the start of Korea Stock Exchange. In January 2005, through integration of Korea Stock Exchange and two other domestic markets, the Korea Exchange (KRX) was created.
There are 4 markets in the KRX; Main Board (KOSPI Market), KOSDAQ (Korea Securities Dealers Automated Quotation), KONEX (Korea new exchange) and the derivatives market.

**BH has listed on the KOSPI one.**

@bts_twt #BTSResearch
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) market is the main board of KRX & many of the larger domestic & international companies such as Samsung Elect., LG Elect., Hyundai Motor, POSCO & KIA Motors are listed on KOSPI.

*BH has listed on this one.*

KOSDAQ Market

The KOSDAQ mkt. opened in 1996 to support venture & small/medium-sized companies’ smooth financing. The IPO requirement for the KOSDAQ mkt. is less rigorous than the requirements for the KOSPI mkt, enabling middle-sized companies with high potential to be listed.
KONEX Market

The KRX opened KONEX mkt. in 2013 to support small/middle-sized start-ups to raise capital. IPO requirement for the KONEX mkt. is less rigorous than the requirements for the KOSDAQ mkt, enabling small/middle-sized or start-up companies w/high potential to be listed.
Listing Information

KRX is mainly divided into two types of market, KOSPI market and KOSDAQ market; and based on
the company’s industry group and size, it will select one of the two markets.
Listing requirements of KOSPI market and KOSDAQ market include both qualitative and quantitative aspects.

More details about this will be included on the link at the end of the thread as its too much info. to write out.

Here is just a bit of the info.
Once the company has been listed, important information from them may have impact on investors’ decision making process therefore they will need to do a public disclosure.
You can read the full report from the PWC which was published in 2019 called, 'Listing in Korea, A Guide to Listing on the Korean Exchange.'

🔍 Previously, we have seen some of you that have asked what is the difference between these 4 markets within the Korean Exchange (KRX).

Or more so why did BH chose to list on KOSPI rather than the rest.
The KOSPI is majorly considered the place for publicly traded companies in Korea. The KOSDAQ has about 1,000+ small- & medium-sized businesses & start-ups listed on it.

Therefore,.....
The KOSDAQ is considered much riskier than the KOSPI. The KOSDAQ is often compared to the N ASDAQ in the US. The KONEX is a trading place for pre-IPO (pre-initial public offering) stocks.
Here is the official link to the Korean Exchange (KRX). Once BH lists publicly you will be able to find them on this website.
