Summary

Park Hyun-sang, a manager at Yuanta Securities' Bucheon branch, reviewed a sharp Korean market selloff in which foreigners sold heavily and individuals bought. He argued the KOSPI/KOSDAQ uptrend is not yet broken, with retail money and likely post-holiday inflows supporting dips, though he wants confirmation from U.S. tech and foreign futures positioning. He highlighted rotation into KOSDAQ 150 short squeezes, entertainment, chemicals, and solar, while flagging broken leadership in robotics, space, shipbuilding, nuclear, and defense. Crypto weakness was seen as diverting money to stocks rather than causing systemic risk.

  • Foreigners sold about KRW 6T in KOSPI and nearly KRW 2T in futures; individuals bought about KRW 6.8T.
  • KOSPI and KOSDAQ fell 3.86% and 3.57%, with growth and leadership sectors breaking down.
  • Park said the uptrend is intact and dips are likely buying opportunities, but near-term consolidation is preferred.
  • He sees retail deposits, new account money, and post-Lunar New Year inflows as key supports.
  • Watch points include U.S. tech recovery, foreign futures short covering, and foreign buying after 9:30.
  • Rotation ideas included KOSDAQ 150 short-interest stocks, entertainment/China, chemicals, and solar.
  • He flagged crypto/altcoins as broken and a source of money moving into equities.
Ideas
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 4:51
Samsung Electronics holds 10-day support.
If the U.S. tech market stabilizes and foreigners return after the 9:30 open, the recent Korean market leaders are the first place to re-enter: Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and semiconductor materials/equipment names. The speaker prefers those that have reclaimed their moving averages, using foreign buying and index strength as confirmation.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 7:52
Korean equity uptrend intact; buy dips.
The Korean equity uptrend has not been broken. Although foreigners sold a record amount and KOSPI/KOSDAQ fell sharply, individual investor resilience and buying power are strong, customer deposits remain high, and new money is likely to come in on dips and after the Lunar New Year holiday. The best near-term path is sideways consolidation rather than a severe break, so pullbacks toward support should be treated as buying opportunities rather than an exit signal.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 8:28
Former Korean leaders broke; watch rotation.
The pullback hit former growth leaders such as robotics, space, shipbuilding, nuclear power, and defense. Several of these names broke trend lines, which is a warning that leadership may rotate; the speaker wants to watch whether these sectors are selected again next week before treating weakness as a buying opportunity.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 16:48
Crypto remains broken; avoid altcoins.
Crypto is not rebounding even as equities attract money, and altcoins plus U.S. crypto-related ETFs have already been crushed. The speaker sees this as money rotating out of crypto into stocks, and because crypto has already fallen so much, it is less likely to trigger a market-wide margin-call event; crypto remains unattractive.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 19:55
Entertainment stocks hinge on China reopening.
Entertainment stocks are drawing attention after earnings reports pointed to improved 2026 results, with China opening as the key swing factor. One entertainment name jumped about 20% on the report. The speaker sees this as a sector where a report-driven move is understandable rather than random.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 20:33
KOSDAQ 150 shorts can squeeze higher.
Money has been flowing into KOSDAQ 150 ETFs, and lagging KOSDAQ 150 names are quietly surging. Traders and investors have learned to chase this flow, and high short-interest KOSDAQ 150 stocks are especially worth watching because short covering can amplify upside while the market remains alive.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 21:35
Beaten-down chemicals draw early rotation interest.
As investors sell highly rallied areas, beaten-down chemical stocks are starting to attract attention; brokerages began discussing them from yesterday and today, suggesting a potential rotation idea whose timing is still early.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 21:49
Solar selected as new Korean theme.
Solar is emerging as a newly strong Korean sector. Hanwha Solutions reported much worse-than-expected results, yet the bad news was absorbed and the stock rose, while Hyundai Energy Solutions also traded strongly. The sector is being selected as a new theme, with space and perovskite narratives adding support, though volatility remains high after near-limit-up moves.
