◇Anchor> In fact, whether the market is good or bad, there are more scammers who want to take advantage of this, but now the political situation is unstable, so fraud seems to be taking place around political theme stocks. So the Financial Supervisory Service runs a special crackdown team?

◆Huh Joon-young> For example, there are many things like soaring stock prices or supporting stock prices with fake news just because we are in a trend or alumni, but in fact, there is this in the United States, where capital markets are the most developed. However, the problem is that in recent years, the Korean stock market has been sluggish continuously, and in the end, there are such operational forces that try to touch the market like this with a few political theme stocks. But I think those who invest might be worried. But what I need to be careful about is that stock prices don't just move with themes like this, so I have to be careful about those parts, and the financial authorities that manage the market have no choice but to pay attention to these parts. These disturbing forces can be problematic when the market as a whole is not as good as it is now.

◇ Anchor> What should investors pay attention to when investing and then look at these situations?

◆Huh Joon-young> I want to talk about the United States. Before Trump was elected, there were various theme stocks such as Trump and Harris. But stock prices don't just move with that theme. There are many different factors, but in a way, if there is a theme in a bad market as a whole, there may be a few good stocks, but in fact, many of them have nothing to do with the politician. In that respect, I think you should think that it is something that can be easily removed at any time and invest.
