According to Edaily, on July 21, South Korean financial authorities' plan to launch single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew criticism from foreign media outlets amid warnings about trading risks.

The scrutiny follows reports of significant losses among retail investors using leverage. A South Korean youth lost approximately 300 million won (roughly $230,000 USD) through leveraged trading in just four weeks, highlighting the dangers of such financial instruments during periods of market volatility.
