The red flags are public.
They're just in Korean.

Korean stocks announce their own risk — dilutions, capital wipeouts, embezzlement charges — in mandatory filings, years before the damage. If you can't read Korean, that early warning simply doesn't reach you. We fix exactly that.

Korean filings carry warnings that fade before they reach a non-Korean reader
01 · THE PROBLEM

"Upload the annual report." Which one?

Korean listed companies file on DART — Korea's EDGAR — in Korean only. For most of 3,442 listed companies there is no English annual report, no English earnings-call transcript, often no English IR page at all. Translation apps give you words, not filing types: a 유상증자 filing is a board-approved dilution decision, not a headline.

So the research base you build for a Korean stock has a hole exactly where the risk lives — the filings you can't read.

02 · WHY IT MATTERS

The pattern shows up before the damage

Serial dilution — convertible bonds, rights offerings, capital reductions — appears in filings years before a stock is delisted for cause. We scored every listed company as of February 2022 and tracked official KRX outcomes for ~4.5 years:

42%
of companies with our highest risk rating were later delisted for cause
the market's average delisting rate — measured in our 2016–2022 validation, not a prediction

The arithmetic. Those numbers are measured on past filings — a historical rate, not a prediction about any stock. Membership is $9 a month at launch — the price of knowing what a company has actually filed, in a language you can read.

Validation table and limitations: Method.

03 · NOT REAL-TIME. ON TIME.

Why a nightly alert beats a live ticker
