As China's intense 996 work culture influences global tech industries, South Korea's tech sector struggles with the 52-hour workweek limit established in 2018. While this limit aims to protect workers, tech leaders argue it can hinder innovation, particularly in fast-paced fields like artificial intelligence and semiconductors, where extended hours may be necessary for development. Despite a willingness among many employees to work additional hours for fair compensation, there are growing calls for greater flexibility, particularly in R&D roles, to balance productivity and worker rights.
