- A Bank of Korea study found that SK Hynix employees bought property in Dongtan, Suwon and Yongin after receiving record-level performance bonuses.
- The findings suggest future large bonus payments could push up real-estate prices in the Seoul metropolitan area.
Record performance bonuses at SK Hynix have been linked to concentrated apartment purchases in three parts of South Koreaโs semiconductor belt, according to a Bank of Korea study.
The areas identified are Dongtan in Hwaseong, Yeongtong in Suwon and Giheung in Yongin, all in southern Gyeonggi Province. The study found that employees focused their property buying in these locations after receiving unusually large bonuses.
The findings point to a possible housing-market effect from corporate payouts. The Bank of Korea said future large bonuses could lift property prices across the Seoul metropolitan area.
