On December 1, last year, just after the KOSPI exceeded the previous high of 2,600, President Moon Jae-in evaluated the'Donghak Ant Movement' in this way.



[President Moon Jae-in (December 1, last year, State Council meeting): When foreigners and institutions sold stocks, individual investors participated in the'Donghak Ant Movement' to protect our stock market.]



Yesterday (11th) New Year's Address Also, the stock price was in the 3,000 era, and the future outlook was bright, and continued favorable reviews.



Receiving the president's advice, the ruling party's highest member publicly discussed the extension of the ban on short selling.



It is argued that if the stock price falls due to the resumption of short selling, "the damage to individual investors who make patriotic investments will be greater."



[Bang Hyang-ja/Democratic Party Supreme Council Member: It is speculation, it is simple investment, it is temporary."

I think that it is a future investment and a patriotic investment.] The



same party lawmaker Park Yong-jin also criticized the financial authorities, saying, "Our people, who are ant investors, shed blood through unfair systems and insolvent coping."



Some of the ruling party are concerned that if short selling resumes just three weeks before the Seoul and Busan mayoral by-elections in April, it could adversely affect the votes of individual investors.



The opposition party is in a wait-and-see atmosphere.



[Kim Jong-in/Chairman of the Power of the People's Forces Emergency Response Committee: I think the securities authorities will do it by looking at the flow of the stock market, and they will decide.] The



ruling party is known to decide whether to resume short selling within this month.
