The domestic stock market is a hot topic every day, and the National Pension Service (NPS) is at the center of it.

As the KOSPI surpassed 9,100, the NPS sold off 1.2696 trillion won worth of shares over four days to secure profits.

It is reported that the annual profit alone reached 231.6 trillion won, an amount equivalent to five years' worth of pension payouts.

The NPS has become such a major player in the domestic stock market that President Lee Jae-myung even mentioned during his first-anniversary press conference, "The entire nation is benefiting from the stock price increase. The National Pension Service's assets have grown tremendously."

We have summarized who is managing these funds, how much they are handling, and how they are doing it.
