The domestic stock market, which had long been stuck around the 2,000 mark, recently broke through the 4,000 level, bringing a rare wave of optimism and raising expectations for a possible surge past 5,000. On a December night in 2025, as the Year of Eulsa draws to a close, the buildings along Yeouidaero in Seoul-home to clustered securities firms and financial institutions-are brightly lit. In a wide-angle, long-exposure photograph, the lights of passing cars leave trails, creating an image that resembles a broad, cheerful smile. In 2026, the Year of Byeongo, we hope that all citizens will have even more reasons to smile.
