Ihwa Electric emerged as a Russian vaccine-related stock because its largest shareholder, Etron, is an affiliate of EID, which invested 10 billion won in December last year in the ‘Sputnik Chorus No. 1 Association.’ This is due to EID holding a 15.2% stake in Korea Chorus, which is preparing for the domestic contract manufacturing of Sputnik V.
