Kakao expands AI commerce tests; payment is key beyond recommendations

Kakao is expanding AI commerce experiments inside KakaoTalk, aiming to keep users within the app from recommendation and search to booking and payment. The company has added a “Special Friend” gift feature and strengthened the “Kanana” place agent to broaden recommendations and enable reservations. Analysts say monetisation depends on whether recommendations translate into completed transactions and payments within KakaoTalk, not just feature launches.

Single-stock leveraged ETFs blamed for volatility, but delisting called excessive

Growing volatility in South Korean equities has intensified debate over whether single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds are amplifying market swings. Trading and fund-flow data show heavy turnover and large net buying by retail investors in products tied to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, alongside steep losses. Some analysts and industry officials say the actual rebalancing impact is limited and that semiconductor moves, foreign selling and credit supply also matter. They call for stronger investor protections rather than delisting.
