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.
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.

03 · NOT REAL-TIME. ON TIME.
Why a nightly alert beats a live ticker
- Korean bad news drops after the close. In a typical week, about 4 out of 5 risk filings
land after 15:30 KST, once the market is already shut. Our nightly read covers the full day's filings —
so the alert is in your inbox before Korea opens again, and with your morning coffee if you're
in the US.
- A price move tells you that something happened — not what. When your stock is
down 8%, we hand you the reason: "a rights offering, its 6th in three years — here's the filing."
The chart is the siren; this is the police report.
- The most dangerous filings don't move the price that day. A convertible bond here, a sanction
warning there — they barely dent the chart, then they stack. If you only watch the price, the first day
you notice is the last day it matters.
- "Early" has two clocks. On a single filing we run hours behind real-time. On the disaster it
builds toward, we run years ahead — Soribada sat at the top of our risk scale for four years before
it was delisted.
04 · WHAT WE DO
We read the filings so your workflow doesn't break
- Watchlist alerts — when a stock you hold files something that matters, it lands in your
inbox the same evening (KST), before the next Korean open. Quiet by design: most days, nothing.
- A forensic report per company — risk score, dilution history, fatal-type filings
(embezzlement charges, audit issues), every claim linked to the original DART document.
- An AI connector key — plug our data straight into Claude. Your research
workflow stays the same; the Korean evidence hole closes.
335,137 filings from listed companies, tracked since 2011, refreshed daily.
