Summary

Lee Kwon-hee, CEO of Wizwave, argues that Korean won stablecoin issuance is inevitable and will shift simple payments away from card networks toward Pay platforms. He says banks face less damage than card companies, while card firms may try to transform. For investors, he recommends Naver as the safer large-cap stablecoin/payment play and Kakao Pay as the aggressive high-volatility alternative, while avoiding Danal and LG CNS.

  • Stablecoin legislation is expected around June in Korea, with the U.S. bill potentially coming between March and July.
  • Stablecoins are seen as threatening card intermediaries and, to a lesser degree, banks.
  • Payment platforms such as Kakao Pay and Naver Pay are framed as key beneficiaries.
  • Naver is presented as the safer large-cap play with diverse business seeds and steady earnings.
  • Kakao Pay is presented as the aggressive, higher-volatility play likely to move first.
  • Danal and LG CNS are dismissed as less trustworthy or too heavy for the theme.
  • Small stablecoin theme stocks are filtered out in favor of more reliable larger names.
Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 5:29
Naver is safest stablecoin payment play
Assuming won stablecoin issuance becomes inevitable, simple payments should shift to Pay platforms. Naver is the safest large-cap play because it owns Naver Pay and has many embedded growth seeds: shopping, payment, AI, GPU, and robot communication networks. Its earnings have never broken and are steadily trending up, and the weekly chart shows higher lows, making it less volatile and easier to hold than speculative small caps.

Kakao Pay is aggressive stablecoin payment bet
Kakao Pay is the aggressive stablecoin payment play. If stablecoins make simple card payments obsolete, Kakao Pay is one of Korea's most widely used payment platforms and should attract funds; it also earns interest on user deposit balances. The stock has high volatility and is likely to move first; after a long downtrend, stronger supply has entered, with potential sharp upside if the theme revives.

LG CNS too heavy for theme
LG CNS is a stablecoin-related candidate with prior CBDC experience, but the speaker rejects it because the stock is too heavy and does not move attractively for this theme.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 8:28
Danal lacks delivery and trust
Among the small stablecoin-payment candidates, Danal should be avoided. The speaker says it has repeatedly announced initiatives such as STO and Danal Pay over about 20 years but has not delivered, so he does not trust it despite the theme's momentum.
