USD/KRW stabilization setup on fundamentals, intervention.
President Lee Jae-myung said the government will seek sustainable measures to stabilize the won and expects USD/KRW to fall to around 1,400 in one to two months. Kwon Soon-woo notes that Korea's current account, the narrowing GDP growth gap with the US, and the narrowing Korea-US rate gap are fundamentally supportive of exchange-rate stabilization, but Korea policy alone cannot easily reverse the move because of yen linkage and expectations for US equities. He sees the president's verbal intervention as the strongest card and says the remarks can be taken at face value, making USD/KRW a developing stabilization setup rather than a clean directional trade.

SK-TerraPower-KHNP power package for data centers.
SK Group, the second-largest shareholder in US SMR designer TerraPower, sold part of its stake to Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. TerraPower has SMR design technology but not construction experience; KHNP has large-nuclear construction and supply-chain capability; SK has gas and renewable generation. Kwon Soon-woo argues that combining them creates a one-stop power package—nuclear, SMR, gas, and renewables—that can serve large data centers such as Meta and improves competitiveness when exporting projects to other countries.

Olive Young-Sephora tie-up lifts K-beauty distribution.
K-beauty has strong products and global demand but weak distribution. Olive Young, CJ's beauty retail unit, is partnering with Sephora, one of the two dominant US beauty retailers, to create K-beauty zones and distribute Korean indie brands through Sephora's network. The rollout starts in the US, Canada, and Asia in H2 and expands to the Middle East and Australia next year. Kwon Soon-woo sees this as a meaningful inflection point because indie brands can ride Olive Young's Sephora channel instead of building overseas distribution themselves.
