Previously, Hyundai Steel had implemented a full shutdown of the Incheon rebar plant for one month in April to reduce production due to deteriorating steel market conditions. Furthermore, on the 7th, the company began a suspension of operations at its No. 2 plant in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province. Hyundai Steel is currently facing management difficulties due to a downturn in the industry caused by oversupply, as well as the imposition of steel tariffs by the United States.
