"these bonuses would be ​paid in company stock ⁠for at least 10 years and conditional upon the chip division achieving more than 200 trillion won ($135 billion) in annual operating profit from 2026 to 2028 ​and 100 trillion won from 2029 to 2035."

I met a kid like this about 15 years ago. Would walk around hitting adults at family get togethers (and not light play punches). One parent was a social worker and thought his behavior was fine, which baffled me.
