This is not a sustainable situation with stock market, and i South Korea it was even worse for "leveraged investing" techniques. In fact SAME as before 1929 stock market crash in USA, just WORSE.
South Korea’s AI Bubble Just Popped - YouTube
Finance creator Andrei Jikh explores the growing financial risks in South Korea surrounding retail investment, extreme leverage, and tech/AI speculation.
Key Points
Extreme Retail Leverage ("Ants"): A massive wave of South Korean retail investors turned to leveraged financial products and debt-backed stock trading, hoping AI tech stocks would build generational wealth.
Proliferation of Leveraged ETFs: Financial regulators (like Korea's Financial Supervisory Service) face backlash for approving high-volatility, leveraged ETFs that amplified market downturns and sparked widespread individual losses.
The "K-Pop" AI Bubble: Over-hyped valuations in semiconductor and tech supplier sectors created a hyper-concentrated bubble. When AI capital expenditure expectations slowed or shifted, market drops triggered cascading liquidations.
Broader Economic Risk: Beyond individual losses, high margin debt and household debt in South Korea pose severe risks of a deeper recession, pulling down broad indices like the KOSPI during market pullbacks.
Systemic Warnings: The video draws parallels between South Korea's aggressive retail trading environment and broader global tech/AI market hype, warning of what can happen when speculative margin trading meets volatile growth cycles.
US market "balance" is just slightly less exposed than Korea's before this crash.
