Pedestrians pass a money exchange in Myeong-dong, a major leisure district in Seoul, Monday, as worries about the strong Korean won coupled with the weakening Japanese yen are spawning fears that the price competiveness of local firms, such as automakers, will be compromised. The won was exchanged at 1,179.34 per 100 yen in late afternoon Monday. / Yonhap
