South Korea's Lee said the government is assessing policy options to normalize
the stock market after recent falls that sharply cut the valuation of domestic
equities held by the National Pension Service. He said officials will review a
comprehensive report soon and take necessary measures, while noting post‑runup
corrections are inevitable and direct government market intervention is now
difficult and not desirable. Lee called the market "severely undervalued,"
blaming persistent negative perceptions on transparency and fairness, and said
the government is closely monitoring developments to reduce instances of
investors being trapped.
