Ideas
Jung Young-jin Reporter, The Korea Economic Daily 0:40
KOSPI to 8,000 by June
He rejects the idea that the KOSPI must fall simply because it reached 5,000, noting that similar fears existed around 4,000. He targets 8,000 by June and later argues that foreign investors have not yet entered Korean equities in size, leaving room for additional inflows to support the market.

Real estate tax shifts asset allocation
He says tighter real estate policy and the end of the multi-home capital gains tax deferral could push capital out of real estate into financial assets. The destination is uncertain: flows into Korean stocks would support domestic equities, while flows into US stocks could add downward pressure on the won. He frames this as a national asset-allocation shift that should be monitored, including for USD/KRW.
Kwon Soon-woo Reporting Team Lead, 3PRO TV 21:49
Korean equities rise on pension liquidity
He argues Korean stocks are likely to rise further because domestic liquidity is abundant: investor deposits are near 100 trillion won, credit balances are at record highs, and daily turnover has jumped 132% year-over-year. He also says valuations are not stretched because earnings estimates are rising faster than prices, while retirement pension reserves of roughly 500 trillion won are shifting toward securities and possible fundization, creating a new domestic equity buyer. He concludes the market will go up.
