Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the election of Lee Jae-myung as South Korea's president has led to a significant rebound in the stock market, with the KOSPI index rising from 2698.97 points to 3147.75 points, a 16.6% increase within two months, compared to lower growth rates in Japan and the US [1] - The "Korean discount" issue, where the market performance is significantly lower than the fundamental value of companies, is a major challenge for the South Korean stock market, with a price-to-book ratio of 0.98 compared to 1.5 in Japan and 2.3 in Taiwan [2] - The dominance of chaebols (large family-owned business conglomerates) in the economy leads to policies favoring founding families, resulting in a governance structure that often neglects the interests of minority shareholders [4] Group 2 - Recent cases, such as the Samsung Group's manipulation of stock prices for control transfer and LG Chem's IPO, highlight the weaknesses in corporate governance in South Korea, where family wealth increases at the expense of shareholder value [6][4] - The Lee Jae-myung government has proposed reforms to enhance corporate governance, including amendments to the Commercial Act that require boards to act in the interests of all shareholders, potentially changing investor sentiment and attracting more capital to the stock market [8] - Successful implementation of these reforms could alleviate pressure on the real estate market by redirecting investment from real estate to the stock market, which has seen significant price increases in recent years [10]
