Approximately one out of every 30 adults in South Korea faces the threat of mandatory stock sales following a sharp decline in tech shares that sparked numerous margin calls. The KOSPI index, which reached all-time highs earlier this year due to an AI-fueled surge, has since dropped 25% from its highest point. When a margin call occurs, investors are obligated to deposit more capital into their accounts; if they are unable to do so, their holdings are subject to forced liquidation.
