About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the AI memory chip boom on South Korea's stock market and the potential risks and opportunities ahead.

South Korea’s KOSPI index has surged 80% this year, easily outperforming the Nasdaq thanks to an AI memory chip boom and key market reforms. But a recent sell-off has raised questions about whether the historic rally is losing steam or just experiencing a temporary pullback. Peter Kim of KB Financial Group gives an inside look at the themes driving Korean stock performance and the opportunities—and risks—ahead.
