Open market operations refers to the central bank buying and selling assets on the open market. The goal is to influence the amount of liquidity in the market.

It sounds like in this case, the Korean central bank is buying bonds to inject liquidity into the market. (Commercial bank gets cash, central bank gets a bond on its balance sheet.)
