Presidential hopefuls are making frequent visits to the financial district of Yeouido in Seoul, apparently seeking to win the hearts and minds of retail investors who have become an influential voting bloc since the stock market boom that started last year.
On Friday, former Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) Chairman Lee Nak-yon, one of the ruling party s presidential contenders, attended a roundtable held by DPK lawmaker Hong Sung-kook at the Korea Financial Investment Association headquarters building on Yeouido.
