Buy KOSPI below 7,500
KOSPI has fallen to very attractive levels; buying below 7,500 is safe and even a worst‑case drop to 6,300 would present a great accumulation opportunity. The current sell‑off is a correction inside a secular bull market that should run until at least the end of next year, so investors should use dips to add exposure.

Avoid 2x leveraged Samsung/SK Hynix ETFs
2x leveraged ETFs on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix decay over time and are structurally unsuitable for long‑term holding. Even in a sideways market they will eventually erode to near zero (‑80% or worse). They should only be used for very short‑term trading, not for investing.

Avoid averaging down on Samsung/SK Hynix
Despite historically low P/E multiples, adding to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix now is warned against because the memory cycle may be peaking and the low valuation could be a trap. Park Se-ik endorses the caution and advises investors not to focus on averaging down on these two names, instead looking at other stocks that have plunged over the last two months.
