Europeans relocating for English teaching positions at Gangnam hagwons convert salaries before March/September school terms. BOK typically announces rates on Thursdays at 10 AM KST, and surprise cuts weaken the won immediately. EU-Korea FTA eliminations of 99% tariffs since 2011 created €100B+ annual trade, tying currencies to Hyundai EV sales in Europe and German machinery exports to Korean factories.
