Because the won is a 'soft' currency and in uncertain economic times nobody wants it.

Op what the hell are you talking about.

The Won has gained against the pound/pound has lost against the Won over the last week or so.

From 2300 a couple of weeks ago to sub 2000 yesterday.

UK's economy is farked, people are pulling out of Sterling as a safe place to keep money.

May it carry on for three more months.
