The government has decided to maintain the current threshold for major shareholders subject to capital gains tax on stock transfers at "50 billion won or more per stock." Although there was an initial plan to lower the threshold to 10 billion won, the government chose to stick with the existing standard due to growing concerns about increased selling pressure in the stock market and weakened investor sentiment.


This decision is seen as a response to backlash from both the market and political circles. Individual investors strongly objected, arguing that "even the middle class would effectively be classified as major shareholders." Both ruling and opposition parties also pointed out that the move would conflict with efforts to revitalize the stock market. In response, the government decided to maintain the current threshold to stabilize investor sentiment, while simultaneously pursuing various policies to stimulate the capital market.

Meanwhile, interest in stock-backed loans (Stock Loan) continues to grow. Investors seeking to seize rare investment opportunities are turning to stock loans, which allow them to leverage more funds for stock purchases.


Another advantage of stock loans is that even if investors face a forced sale crisis due to a sharp drop in stock prices while using margin or credit, they can easily switch over without providing additional collateral or selling stocks, and then wait for a rebound.
