Hanksung Enterprise Stock Surges to 577B Won Market Cap on July 13 as Retail Investors Back Domestic Brands

According to the Korea Exchange and Economist, South Korean listed companies Hanksung Enterprise and Monami saw their share prices rally on July 13 amid stricter delisting criteria. Hanksung Enterprise's market capitalization reached 577 billion won after surging from around 5,500 won in early 2026 to over 11,000 won in mid-July, driven by retail investor demand. Monami shares similarly rose from 1,900 won to 2,600 won over the same period. Securities analysts attribute the unusual surge to investors' desire to support domestic brands and companies with strong social contribution records, rather than any material business improvements. Hanksung's 25-year UN veteran sponsorship program and Monami's status as South Korea's first domestically-produced ballpoint pen manufacturer (launched 1963) have become focal points in online investment communities. However, brokers warn that valuations may be disconnected from fundamentals, cautioning that rapid investor exits could cause sharp price declines and losses for latecomers.
