Hormuz blockade squeezes Korean refining margins.
Korean refiners operate a high-value product export model by importing cheap sour-heavy Middle East crude. If Hormuz is blocked, replacing that feedstock with more expensive US light/sweet crude, at roughly $3 per barrel premium and about 60-day shipping versus 25 days from the Middle East, forces facility changes and materially compresses refining margins.

Buy beaten-down Korean cyclicals.
Money has nowhere else to go with real estate blocked, and the extreme concentration in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix may ease temporarily in June. This creates a technical rebound window for heavily beaten-down cyclical sectors (construction, steel, machinery, shipbuilding, chemicals, refining) that have lagged the index. Easing geopolitical tensions and stabilizing rate expectations support the catch-up trade until the July earnings season.

Korean refiners cannot re-rate.
Korean refining stocks should not re-rate like power equipment or nuclear because refining is globally widespread and not a unique bottleneck.
