<Anchor> It is a
friendly economic time.
Today (17th) will be with reporter Kim Hye-min.
Reporter Kim, there were so many people who really started stocking last year.
But the survey results showed that the number of people holding stocks actually increased significantly?
<Reporter>
Yes, the Korea Securities Depository surveys the number of people holding stocks each year, and last year it was 6.19 million.
But last year, it increased by 3 million to 9.19 million.
Let's take a closer look.
Samsung Electronics is the undisputed number one company with the largest number of owners in the KOSPI market.
On the other hand, there are companies with a significant increase in the number of shareholders last year. Hyundai Motor Company and Kakao, a leading IT company, ranked at the top, which quickly secured future growth engines through the development of electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles.
In the KOSDAQ market, Shillagen has the largest number of shareholders in recent years, but it collapsed to third place last year as stock trading was suspended due to clinical failures and allegations of unfair stock trading by management.

Reporter Kim, I'm curious about which generation has the most stocks, especially last year, stock investments of people in their 20s and 30s increased a lot.
As stock investments in the 20s and 30s have increased, I am curious about how much stocks you have. How about?
<Reporter>
First, let's look at the generation that invests the most in stocks.
Among the total shareholders, the proportion of those in their 40s was the largest at 24.3%.
50s followed.
On the other hand, this ranking reverses when looking at the percentage of stocks held.
Those in their 50s, who had more opportunities for asset growth than those in their 40s, owned a third of the total stocks.
There are fewer people in their 50s than those in their 40s, but in terms of the number of stocks they have, it's a lot more.
Let’s see them in their 20s and 30s together.
In the past year than last year, the share of young people in total shareholders has increased considerably.
However, compared to those in their 40s and 50s, compared to those in their 40s and 50s when comparing the number of stocks they actually owned.
Therefore, although the number of people in their 20s and 30s who invest in stocks increased, it was not enough to keep up with the number of stocks in their 40s and 50s because of the lack of financial resources.
Also, it should be taken into account that younger generations are investing in overseas stocks more, and this part is missing in statistics.
<Anchor> In the
end, it is a situation where stock investments in the 40s and 50s are the most.
Looking at it in a little more detail, it is said that this result also came out as to which generation in which region has a lot of stocks.
<Reporter> As of the
end of last year, I tried to make the most stock investment type, and they were men in their 40s living in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do.
There are 34,000 people.
Last year alone, men in their 40s who lived in Gangnam were the most common among shareholders, but this ranking has changed due to slight differences.
However, many men in their 40s in Suwon are only investing in stocks, and the number of stocks per person is less than that of Gangnam.
This doesn't mean that there are fewer stocks than ordinary people, but less compared to Gangnam.
Each person has an average of 6,000 stocks. Only 27,700 men in their 50s in Gangnam, Seoul are investing in stocks, but the average stock of one person is over 40,000.
The real big hands in the stock investment world were men in their 50s living in Gangnam.
<anchor> That's
right.
It is the season of shareholders' meetings of large corporations these days.
However, it is said that minority shareholders can also participate in the general shareholders' meeting. Please explain briefly how this can be done.
<Reporter>
Samsung Electronics' general shareholders' meeting will be held from 9 am today, and you can participate online as well.
Yesterday, Samsung Electronics received a pre-application and voting voting through the Internet, allowing you to watch the broadcast until 5 pm.
As mentioned earlier, as individual investors increased significantly, the number of small shareholders of Samsung Electronics exceeded 2 million. This is to prevent confusion among shareholders on the day of the shareholders' meeting.
In addition, general shareholder meetings of major companies such as Hyundai Motor Company and SK Telecom will be held one after another, and shareholders can also e-vote on the Korea Securities Depository.
Recently, this is also possible on mobile.
If the company applies for the use of the service to the depository and the shareholders are subscribed to Kakao Pay, they can receive a notice of the shareholders' meeting through Kakao Talk messages or exercise voting rights.
