KOSPI exposure for US-based investors. Most names accessible via OTC ADRs; KRX-direct names (.KS suffix) need IBKR or a similar broker with Korea cash-equity access. Korea Discount is structurally narrowing — Value-Up Index +130% since Sep-2024, KOSPI +75% YoY, Macquarie projects +48% earnings growth for 2026, bank payout ratios mandated 36% → 50%+ by year-end. Holdco names (HYMTF, SSGQF, 402340.KS) trade at 40-50%+ NAV discounts — the "bargain bin" the user flagged. Memory leg overlaps with the AI memory bubble.
