At the center of the meltdown is retail participation in leveraged ETFs tied to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which amplified the selloff and inflicted crushing losses on Korean households.

Overnight trading in Asian equities struggled to find a proper floor as South Korean stocks kept volatility high and mom-and-pop retail traders horrified that their leveraged bets have been all but wiped out. The Kospi erased gains as much as 5.5%, closing down about 1% despite Samsung's confirmation of massive profits.
