Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People Power Party who had previously opposed the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, shifted his stance on the 6th by stating that an "urgent suspension of duties is necessary," causing political theme stocks to surge.
As of 11:09 AM on the 6th, Orient Precision, a theme stock associated with Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was trading at 2,480 KRW, up 29.77% compared to the previous day. Other stocks such as ATEC (24.18%), Estaco (24.38%), and Susan INT (16.59%) also showed strong performance.
Stocks classified as Han Dong-hoon theme stocks, including Deoksung (15.20%), Daesang Holdings (22.70%), DTN CRO (29.86%), and Opasnet (20.95%), also expanded their gains following Han’s remarks.
At an emergency Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, Han stated, "Considering the newly revealed facts, I judge that an urgent suspension of President Yoon Suk-yeol’s duties is necessary to protect the Republic of Korea and its people." This is interpreted as the market reflecting the increased possibility of impeachment.
