[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Daesung Venture Investment's stock price is on the rise. As candidate Lee Jun-seok took first place in the preliminary race for the People Power Party leadership, the fact that the company's CEO Kim Young-hoon is an alumnus of Harvard University, like candidate Lee, has been highlighted.
As of 11:02 AM on the 31st, Daesung Venture Investment's stock price recorded 4,675 KRW, up 11.71% compared to the previous trading day. After the cut-off (preliminary race), candidate Lee showed over 40% support in subsequent opinion polls, leading other competitors by a large margin, which appears to have driven the rise in related stocks. According to disclosures registered in the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system, CEO Kim Young-hoon graduated from Seoul National University Law School and Harvard University Graduate School. The fact that he is a Harvard alumnus like candidate Lee has drawn attention.
Meanwhile, on the 29th, a survey commissioned by Money Today and the Mirae Korea Research Institute to the polling firm PNR Research, targeting 1,004 voters nationwide, asked "Who do you think is most suitable as the next party leader?" Former Supreme Council member Lee ranked first with 40.7%. Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won received 19.5%, lawmaker Joo Ho-young 7.2%, lawmaker Hong Moon-pyo 4.2%, and lawmaker Cho Kyung-tae 3.1%.
This survey was conducted nationwide among men and women aged 18 and older using a "100% wireless automated response telephone survey" method. The response rate was 2.8%, with a sampling error of ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. Weighting (rim weighting) was applied by region, gender, and age based on the resident registration population from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety as of March 2021.
