Korea's Corporate Value-Up Program (inspired by Japan's similar reforms) has been operational for 6 months. Assessment: (1) Timeline failures: companies listed on KOSPI (tax incentives: 5% corp tax deduction for increased dividends/buybacks), KOSDAQ follow-up expected 2027. (2) Compliance target: 70% of KOSPI companies to adopt value-up disclosures. Currently 45% participate. (3) Key metric: PBR ratio improved from 0.9x to 1.05x for participating companies (vs non-participating 0.78x). KOSPI index: up 12% since program launch. (3) Short-term effects positive, but... skepticism: Japan's similar program took 3+ years for tangible results. Korea investors are impatient. Foreign investment: net buying of KRW 15T in Q2 2026 (vs KRW 3T Q2 2025). The Korea discount is narrowing but not eliminated. The program works for companies with excess cash (Samsung, SK Hynix). For growth companies that need to reinvest, value-up disclosures add reporting burden without tangible benefit.
