[Financial News] President Lee Jae-myung reiterated his warning on the 14th, saying, "Being ruined by stock price manipulation is no empty threat."
On social media that day, President Lee shared an article reporting that the Joint Stock Price Manipulation Response Team will be expanded and reorganized, including doubling its staff, and made this remark.
He also left a message urging, "Please invest properly."
President Lee has repeatedly stressed that strict punishment for stock price manipulation and other market-disrupting activities is also a way to dispel the undervaluation of the South Korean stock market, saying, "We must make it clear that anyone who engages in stock price manipulation or illicit trading in the Korean market will be ruined."
