The Korean stock market settles securities and cash on the 2nd trading day after the trade date (T+2).
For example, if there are no holidays, shares bought on Monday are settled on Wednesday, after which you can appear on the shareholder register as a shareholder. Many other countries, including the US, Japan, Hong Kong and Germany, also use T+2 settlement.
