Samsung Promised a Record Payout Without a Buyback Number, and KORU Took 3x the Hit
Samsung Electronics approved the largest shareholder return package in Korean corporate history on Friday, then fell 8.70% on Monday because the package named a 30 trillion won dividend and pushed the buyback size to a January board meeting. SK hynix had already committed to repurchasing and cancelling 40 trillion won of stock five days earlier, which set the bar Samsung failed to clear. The Kospi closed down 3.12% at 6,696.96 on 5 trillion won of foreign and institutional selling, and KORU, built to return three times the daily move in an index Samsung dominates, closed down 7.86%. The Hyperliquid perp went further and printed a 12.44% loss over 24 hours.

KORU Unwinds a Holiday Markup as Seoul's Chip Rally Reverses
The Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3X ETF closed Tuesday down 24.21% at $17.84, but the Korean market it references fell only 1.55%. The gap is a holiday. Seoul was shut Monday for the substitute Liberation Day break while KORU kept trading in New York and marked itself up 8.98% on expectations of a gap-up open. Korea delivered that gap, then gave it all back, and the fund had to unwind the markup and absorb three times the session's loss at the same time.
How to Trade KORU on Hyperliquid: The 3x South Korea Chip Trade
KORU is the Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3X ETF, a fund built to return 300% of the daily move in the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index, an index that is more than half Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Hyperliquid now lists a HIP-3 perpetual referencing one KORU share, quoted in USD and tradeable around the clock with up to 10x leverage. Here is what the fund actually holds, why it moves the way it does, and what stacking perp leverage on a 3x daily fund really means.
