[Asia Economy Reporter Ji Yeon-jin] Seungil is hitting the upper limit price on the 18th as support for Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, rises sharply during trading hours.


Seungil has been trading at 16,100 KRW, up 29.84% from the previous day, since 9:31 AM.


The stock price appears to have been driven up after the presidential candidate support poll released the previous day showed Yoon leading Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea.


In the nationwide index survey (NBS) conducted by Embrain Public, K-Stat Research, Korea Research, and Hankook Research from the 14th to the 16th among 1,012 men and women aged 18 and over nationwide, Yoon recorded 40% support while Lee recorded 31% in a four-party hypothetical contest.



Seungil, which produces aerosol cans and others, has been classified as a stock related to Yoon because CEO Hyun Chang-soo is an alumnus of Yonsei University Graduate School along with Yoon Seok-yeol's father, Professor Yoo Ki-jung.
