Summary

Jung Tae-geun, a director at Mirae Economic Research Institute, discusses the continued KOSPI uptrend toward 7,000, NVIDIA's breakout above $200, and the outlook for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. He highlights May event risks from the 2x ETF launch on Samsung/SK hynix and a possible Samsung strike, then turns to lagging battery/cathode names, robotics/Unitree-related stocks, power equipment, and U.S.-investment beneficiaries like shipbuilding and nuclear. The hosts challenge him on timing and sector rotation.

  • KOSPI uptrend and 7,000-point target debated.
  • NVIDIA breakout above $200 seen as buy signal.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK hynix targets set at 300,000 won and 1,500,000 won.
  • May 22 2x ETF launch flagged as potential local peak risk for Samsung/SK hynix.
  • Secondary battery and cathode laggards highlighted as next rotation.
  • Robot theme supported by Unitree, Tesla Optimus, and Hyundai/Boston Dynamics.
  • Power equipment strength judged intact despite pullback.
  • KOSDAQ rotation and U.S. investment beneficiaries watched.
Ideas
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 7:21
KOSPI uptrend targets 7,000 points.
The KOSPI is in an upward trend and should reach 7,000 points; the market has already decided to ignore geopolitical noise such as Iran, and the debate should shift to how much further it rises after 7,000 rather than whether it gets there.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 10:50
Samsung and SK hynix targets higher.
Samsung Electronics can rise to 300,000 won and SK hynix to 1,500,000 won before mid-May as the semiconductor upcycle continues and foreign investors concentrate buying in these two names after stopping their broad Korean selling.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 12:38
Watch possible KOSDAQ rotation.
If the KOSPI becomes sluggish around the May 22 Samsung/SK hynix leveraged ETF launch and late-May national growth fund and KOSDAQ 150 rebalancing events, the market could rotate toward the KOSDAQ, so that possibility should be monitored.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 13:05
Shipbuilding and nuclear U.S. beneficiaries.
Korean shipbuilding and nuclear power are already rotating strong and are the likely beneficiaries of the U.S. investment first-project selection, which is expected to focus on shipbuilding and nuclear power.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 17:20
Buy NVIDIA on box breakout.
NVIDIA broke above $200 after an eight-month box range with strong bullish candles, unlike the failed November breakout, and with earnings due May 21 and no negative surprise expected, the AI/GPU data-center momentum supports buying now.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 21:38
Power equipment uptrend remains intact.
The Korean power equipment sector remains in an uptrend; the recent 3-4% pullback and temporary disappearance from the daily leadership list are normal rotation, and investors should note it and re-enter when it resurfaces.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 44:42
Battery sector set for rotation.
Secondary batteries are the large-cap sector with the lowest relative price position; lithium carbonate has rebounded above the breakeven level, battery demand is expanding from EVs into robots and ESS, and once KOSPI momentum slows, the sector should attract rotation.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 45:49
POSCO Future M laggard cathode play.
POSCO Future M is a lagging cathode and anode supplier to Samsung SDI; as battery production increases, it should benefit from vendor orders, and if Samsung SDI fills its gap to prior highs, POSCO Future M should fill toward at least 550,000 won.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 46:22
Ecopro BM next cathode laggard.
Ecopro BM is a lagging cathode maker that has not moved like L&F or POSCO Future M; when battery-sector momentum returns and cell makers keep producing, cathode names should follow, so it has no reason not to rise.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 50:02
Robot theme has strong catalysts.
The robot theme should continue because robots need batteries, Unitree's upcoming IPO and Tesla's Optimus 3 launch are catalysts, Hyundai is pushing Boston Dynamics/autonomous driving, and the industry will ultimately reward only the first and second movers.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 51:11
Hyundai robot optionality needs speed.
Hyundai Motor acquired Boston Dynamics for autonomous-driving and robot technology, but it lacks Tesla-scale driving data; it must speed up robot production because Unitree and Tesla are moving quickly, and the market is already rewarding that robot/autonomous-driving optionality.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 52:00
Robotis linked to Unitree.
Robotis has been supplying actuators to Unitree since 2025, and Unitree's IPO/listing is expected to boost sentiment for related robot stocks, giving Robotis a direct supply-chain link to the catalyst.
Jeong Tae-geun Director, Mire Economic Research Institute 52:07
SBB Tech trend has turned.
SBB Tech is another Unitree-related robot stock whose short-term trend has turned upward, suggesting it can participate in the robot theme's renewed momentum.
