Kim Yong-beom, Chief of Staff for Policy at the Blue House, addressed concerns that single-stock leveraged ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are being identified as a cause for the repeated volatility in the KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index). He stated, "As this is a newly introduced system, I believe that if improvements are needed, the Market Situation Inspection Meeting will make the necessary decisions."

During a briefing at the Blue House today, Kim stated, "The Market Situation Inspection Meeting, which includes the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Financial Services Commission, the Bank of Korea, and the Financial Supervisory Service, is closely examining and deliberating on the market situation."

He added, "Each agency is reviewing the matter individually, and as it has been about a month and a half since the ETFs were introduced, we plan to carefully examine what impact their operation has had on the market."

Regarding the plan to establish a semiconductor cluster in the Honam region on the site of the Gwangju military airport, Kim addressed concerns that consultations between South Korea and the U.S. are required, saying, "Since a portion of the military airport is currently being used by the U.S. military, consultations are naturally necessary," and confirmed that "South Korea-U.S. consultations have already begun."
