The six South Korean banks are KB Kookmin bank, Industrial Bank of Korea, Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank, KEB Hana Bank and Korea Development Bank.

The daily trading volume in the Seoul won-yuan direct market reached an average $2 billion as of December this year, up from last year's $1.82 billion, according to government data. (Yonhap)
