"Ordered Red, Why Is It Blue?"... Retail Investors' Bitterly Funny Refund Requests

As the KOSPI has fallen for three consecutive days, social media is flooded with bittersweet memes from individual investors. Let's take a look at some of the posts.

"Hello, Choi Tae-won." This refers to the Chairman of SK Group.

"Is it possible to get a refund for these Hynix shares? They are still brand new and unopened." "My child's father is very angry, please give us a refund."

This post received over 3,000 likes.

It is as if they are requesting a refund just like returning a parcel.

This is a parody of a scene from the Netflix drama "Get Schooled," where a parent bullies a teacher by saying, "My child's father is very angry," applied to the current market plunge.

Looking at the comments, there were self-deprecating reactions such as, "The color of the product I ordered is wrong. I bought it after seeing red, so why did it suddenly turn blue?" and "Chairman, 2 trillion won might not be much, but my 2.8 million won is precious."

These are essentially memes filled with the bitter laughter of individual investors who bought at the peak.

Investors who were buying into a bullish stock market are now facing double-digit declines, and that sense of loss is being vented through this kind of humor.
