A single vote on July 29 could decide how startups exit in Korea — and how thin-file borrowers get scored.
Korea's financial regulator moved to cap parent-company voting rights at 3% on subsidiary listing votes, tightening a channel that accounts for over half of VC exits nationwide. Venture and VC industry groups pushed back this week, asking for a separate review track for startups ahead of the final vote on July 29. Meanwhile, Seoul fintech Bankalad used 200,000 card-transaction records and a Sogang University study to build an alternative credit model scoring 60% on the K-S predictive benchmark, aimed at Korea's underserved thin-file borrowers.
