The local question is credibility, not just discount.
Samsung C&T and LG Corp are useful Korean peers because both sit in affiliate/control structures and both are judged on whether shareholder-return promises can reduce the domestic holding-company discount.

What To Track
Korea-specific discount closure| Samsung C&T | Affiliate dividend pass-through, stake revaluation, construction recovery, bio and nuclear optionality. |
|---|---|
| LG Corp | Treasury retirement, dividend improvement, interim dividends, ROE target delivery. |
| SK read-through | SK Square and SK Inc need hard numbers: payout formulas, cancellations, and visible NAV/share accretion. |
| Main trap | Korean value-up language can be broad; the market rewards executed cancellations more than policy slogans. |
