<p>KRX announced the rebalance to the KOSPI200 index today. There was not much surprise among the new 10 additions, which included stocks such as Samyang Foods, Zinus, and Kiwoom Securities. However, there was some surprises among the deletions including Unid, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/dong-a-socio-holdings-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4271:1" rel="noopener">Dong A Socio Holdings (000640 KS), </a>and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/dong-a-st-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16873:1" rel="noopener">Dong A St (170900 KS)</a>.</p><p>Among the newly included companies, in terms of their fundamental business outlook and reasonable valuations, we think Samyang Foods, Zinus, and Hanwha Systems fit into these categories.
