Quick Glance: South Korea introduces monitoring system to curb illegal stock short selling
- South Korea's financial market watchdog has developed a new monitoring mechanism to detect illegal short-selling transactions in the stock market. Institutional investors will be electronically processed and filtered through a central detection system to prevent illegal trades.
- South Korea has made various reform efforts to address the 'Korea discount' in the stock market, where domestic companies have lower valuations compared to global peers due to factors like low dividend payouts and opaque governance structures.
- Last November, South Korea imposed a sudden ban on short selling of shares for the first half of the year after discovering illegal trades by foreign investment banks. Authorities stated that the ban would remain until adequate measures are in place to prevent such practices.
- The FSS aims to implement the new monitoring system swiftly after finalizing it, although no specific date was provided for the implementation.

scmp.com/news/asia/east-asia/article/3260197/south-korean-woman-conned-out-us50000-fake-elon-musk-she-fell-love-instagram
Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam
- A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.
- Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.
- Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.
- The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.
