<li>Enchem (348370 KS) is in a bit tricky situation. Applying the KRX's review period calculation criterion to Enchem satisfies the minimum listing requirement.</li>
<li>So, we should consider Enchem's addition odds quite high. Enchem's inclusion will pave the way for Sungwoo Hitech (015750 KS) to leave the Index.</li>
<li>We have ten adds/deletes, and WYSIWYG Studios (299900 KS) leads the adds for the passive impact, whereas JNTC Co Ltd (204270 KS) will suffer the most relative to ADTV.</li>

<li>In the KOSPI, Kakao Pay and SK IET deserve our attention. Their prices are 20-25% above the offering prices, and the release size is 10x ADTV. Both are short-selling available.</li>
<li>On the KOSDAQ, Enchem, Dear U, 4by4, and Poongwon Precision are worth paying attention to. They will face a sizable release with the share prices sitting above their offering prices.</li>
<li>However, none of these KOSDAQ names are available for short-selling. So, we should consider underweighting existing positions rather than building up new positions.</li>
