[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] The stock price of Prosthemics, a bio company based on exosomes and stem cells, is showing strong performance. With former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol expected to announce his presidential candidacy on the 29th, it appears that the company has been highlighted as a related stock due to the fact that its auditor worked together with Yoon at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
At 9:51 AM on the 25th, Prosthemics' stock price rose 7.68% compared to the previous day, reaching 3,575 KRW. The company's auditor, Kim Dong-joo, worked as a prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office from 2012 to 2015, and since Yoon also served as the head prosecutor of the Special Investigation Division at the same office in 2012, the stock has been linked as a related stock.
Meanwhile, former Prosecutor General Yoon stated through his spokesperson the day before, "I will speak to the people about the path I will take going forward." On the 29th at 1 PM, he is expected to officially announce his political participation and presidential candidacy at the Maeheon Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul. This comes about four months after stepping down from the Prosecutor General position on March 4.
