▲The "spouse index" of Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) employees has reportedly risen from 84 to 87. According to Sunoo, a marriage information company, the spouse index of Samsung Electronics employees jumped by three points, buoyed by the company's massive performance bonuses. The firm's spouse index is a marriage eligibility score calculated by combining socioeconomic ability, physical attractiveness, and family background. "Samsung Electronics employees are now at a level comparable to the lawyer (90 points) tier," Sunoo said, adding that the same applies to SK hynix (000660.KS). If the semiconductor super-cycle continues, the day when "Samsung-hynix" employees overtake lawyers in spouse index may not be far off.

What results will the wide-ranging campaign trail of Park, dubbed the "queen of elections," bring?
