I'm curious about the representative types of unfair trading.

Whether something constitutes unfair trading is judged based on the content and circumstances of the act, so it is important to first accurately understand the concept of unfair trading and its representative types.

Unfair trading practices refer to all securities trading activities that do not fulfill various obligations required by the "Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act" or that deceive trading partners or the market to obtain unfair benefits.

It is distinguished from a simple failure of investment judgment, and if illegality is recognized, it becomes subject to administrative and criminal sanctions.

Representative types of unfair trading are as follows.

Use of undisclosed material information: An act in which insiders of listed companies, etc. trade stocks using important information that has not been disclosed

Market manipulation: An act of artificially raising or lowering stock prices through false trading, matched orders, etc.

Fraudulent trading: An act that hinders investors' rational judgment by spreading false facts or concealing important facts

Short-swing profit trading: An act in which executives, major shareholders, etc. repeat trading within a short period to obtain profits

Violation of disclosure and reporting obligations: Cases of not fulfilling legal disclosure and reporting obligations such as large holding reports and insider trading reports

Market order disruption: Trading practices that repeatedly and systematically interfere with the formation of fair prices in the market

Whether the act you discovered falls under one of the above unfair trading types, or whether it overlaps with multiple types, must be judged by comprehensively considering the specific transaction structure and facts.
