Interesting split emerging from South Korea's central bank. Their official board members—when you exclude Governor Rhee from the count—are perfectly divided on whether rates should shift in the immediate term. Half are leaning toward action, the other half prefer holding steady.
This internal friction tells you something about the uncertainty hanging over their monetary stance right now. No clear consensus means the next policy move could swing either way, depending on how incoming data lands. Markets hate ambiguity, but this is where we're at with BOK's rate outlook for the near future.

BOK is playing "Schrödinger's rate cut" again, half want to move and half don’t want to move, which is ridiculous.

With such a division within bok, it's no wonder the market is confused.

What is bok doing? How can we make decisions with half and half?
