<li>In the KOSPI, Kakao Pay and SK IET deserve our attention. Their prices are 20-25% above the offering prices, and the release size is 10x ADTV. Both are short-selling available.</li>
<li>On the KOSDAQ, Enchem, Dear U, 4by4, and Poongwon Precision are worth paying attention to. They will face a sizable release with the share prices sitting above their offering prices.</li>
<li>However, none of these KOSDAQ names are available for short-selling. So, we should consider underweighting existing positions rather than building up new positions.</li>
