"Chairman Chey Tae-won, this dad is really angry" ... SK hynix 'peak-buying' investors laugh through tears at the 'refund meme'

[Financial News]
[Financial News] SK hynix, which had surged more than 340% so far this year to overtake Samsung Electronics and become the most valuable company by market capitalization, plunged just one day after hitting an all-time high. With concerns over production cuts in High Bandwidth Memory and a sharp sell-off in U.S. semiconductor stocks, the share price fell back to the 2.1 million won range within three trading days.
On the stock market on the 8th, SK hynix hit a record high of 2,945,000 won, but profit-taking quickly followed, sending the stock down more than 7% in a single day.
Retail investors who rushed in late with all they had after hearing about the new high were thrown into panic as they faced double-digit losses in just one day.
As the stock price tumbled, readers responded with humor-laced self-mockery.
Posts on online communities included lines such as, "I haven't even opened the stock yet, so please take it back," and "I bought it because it was red, so why did blue arrive?"
In particular, a post demanding a refund while quoting a famous line from Netflix's original series Teach You a Lesson — "This dad is really angry" — is spreading as a meme.
Industry watchers see the episode as a typical correction after an excessive rally.
The cries and self-deprecating parodies from investors who bought at the peak are likely to continue for a while.
