A RECORD-SETTING FIRE IS BURNING THROUGH SOUTH KOREA’S MARKETS, AND THE ORDINARY PERSON IS HOLDING THE BAG.

The KOSPI stock index just closed at an ALL-TIME HIGH, smashing through the 4,700 mark for a ninth straight day. The numbers are staggering: over 22 trillion won swapped hands. But look who’s selling: foreigners and RETAIL INVESTORS. While giant institutions drove the rally, buying a net 602 billion won, small-time investors were DUMPING their holdings.
Samsung and SK hynix surged. Hyundai and Kia exploded upwards. This isn’t organic growth; this is a PUMP orchestrated by the big players. A photo of a trading screen doesn’t show the real story—the story is who gets rich and who gets left behind.
While tech and auto stocks soared, the defense sector TANKED. And the Korean won WEAKENED against the dollar. This creates a dangerous pattern: a soaring stock market built on institutional money, while the currency weakens and retail investors flee. Someone is making a fortune, and someone ELSE is paying for it.
ONE QUESTION REMAINS: WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS, WHO WILL BE LEFT WITHOUT A CHAIR?
