Summary

In this Double Crew episode, Kwon Taek-joong, Manager at The Centerfield W, argues the Korean equity rally is still intact, led by Samsung Electronics and SK hynix on AI memory demand. He advises staying long the KOSPI, watching a potential bottom in oversold US AI software/SaaS, and favoring Korean securities/financials. He also describes a barbell diversification into AI-safe sectors like entertainment/beauty and raw-material inflation beneficiaries such as Caterpillar, trading companies, miners, and construction machinery, and flags Hyundai Motor as a possible single-stock 2x ETF candidate.

  • Kwon expects the Korean market uptrend to continue, with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix leading.
  • He cites foreign inflows via US-listed Korea ETFs and upcoming single-stock 2x ETF launches as supply catalysts.
  • He sees AI memory/semiconductor demand as durable even if AI agents disrupt software.
  • He views the US AI software/SaaS selloff as a watch-for-bottom opportunity, not an apocalypse.
  • He calls Korean securities/financials a top pick, though short-term overheating may cause a rest.
  • He has added AI-safe entertainment/beauty and inflation beneficiaries like Caterpillar, trading companies, miners, and construction machinery.
  • Hyundai Motor is noted as a possible candidate for a Korean single-stock 2x ETF.
  • Lithium is mentioned only briefly as rising.
Ideas
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 1:01
Korean market uptrend likely continues.
The Korean equity market is in a persistent uptrend, with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix leading. The speaker advises staying invested and not fighting the trend, citing strong foreign inflows through US-listed Korea ETFs and upcoming single-stock leveraged ETF launches as supply/demand catalysts. He suggests trimming greed near targets but remains bullish through and after the Seollal holiday.

Samsung benefits from AI memory demand.
Samsung Electronics is a core leader of the Korean rally and a key beneficiary of continued AI memory and hardware demand. He notes Nomura's target-price upgrades for Samsung/memory, foreign ETF inflows into large Korean stocks, and the potential launch of a Korean single-stock 2x ETF as additional buying catalysts. He says these names can be held comfortably.
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 2:24
SK hynix AI memory demand stays strong.
SK hynix is a key AI memory winner. He says AI software and services still require memory and semiconductors, and after seeing Kioxia's earnings he became more convinced and actually bought more SK hynix. He also cites memory target-price upgrades and the potential single-stock 2x ETF launch as additional demand catalysts.
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 7:06
Hyundai Motor 2x ETF supply catalyst.
Hyundai Motor is one of three large Korean stocks being discussed for the launch of single-stock 2x ETFs, alongside Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. If Hyundai is included, the ETF launch could create additional futures and underlying buying and provide a supply-driven catalyst. The plan is not confirmed, so it is a watch item.
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 8:03
Watch AI software bottom opportunity.
US AI software and SaaS stocks have fallen sharply on fears that Claude-style AI agents will kill SaaS, but he does not think it is an apocalypse. Because the selloff already reflects much of the fear, he sees a potential opportunity to find a bottom or inflection point and buy after further declines.
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 9:18
AI still needs memory semiconductors.
Even if AI agents disrupt software and SaaS, AI services still need memory and semiconductors, so demand for the AI memory/semiconductor supply chain should continue. He recommends holding this area comfortably as the core AI hardware exposure.

Korean brokers/financials remain top pick.
With the KOSPI rising, brokerage activity and trading volume increasing, and supportive policy/financial sector factors, Korean securities and financial stocks are a top pick. Short-term overheating may lead to a rest period, but earnings-based upside remains.
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 13:03
Add AI-safe entertainment and beauty.
To reduce portfolio volatility from AI-related disruption fears, he has added sectors that AI cannot easily hurt, such as Korean entertainment and beauty, which are far from AI software/SaaS competition. This is part of a barbell strategy.
Kwon Taek-jung Manager, The Centerfield W 13:24
Raw material inflation beneficiaries diversify portfolio.
Raw material inflation is rising again, so he is adding related beneficiaries such as US capital goods and industrials like Caterpillar, commodity trading companies, miners, and construction machinery. These are part of his barbell diversification away from pure AI exposure.
