The head of the Financial Services Commission of South Korea said that measures regarding single ETFs will be announced.

Lee Eok-won, Chairman of the Financial Services Commission of South Korea, stated that he will soon announce measures regarding the leveraged ETFs of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix that have exacerbated stock market volatility. He mentioned that he is closely consulting with relevant departments including the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Bank of Korea, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Financial Services Commission, and will announce measures for investor protection and market stability. When asked if he is also considering temporarily halting the trading of Samsung Electronics' leveraged ETF, he said, "We are conducting a comprehensive review because if we do so, it may have greater side effects." When asked if he believes that leveraged ETFs have exacerbated stock market volatility, he avoided a direct answer, saying, "It is a matter of degree."
