It's a joke, I am Asian. I guess I also watched that stupid video and like to play with financial instruments.

It's not just Korea, there're similar cases in prices Chinese walnuts recently or 17-century Dutch tulips. Invstors are also people that have some behaivoral biases :) sometimes guys just get bored with their usual investment tools

Maybe it's actually a secret brilliant plan implemented by super geniuses- the first few people to start buying up the walnuts/tulips/DI make a killing!

How else would you explain the existence and popularity of this crazy video? Maybe it was all engineered by DI or some hedge fund. We're playing right into their hands.

Maybe, there was similar cases few years ago - when shares prices go up when people started political campaigns or just made photo with President. This is what VC-guys called 'create momentum' - every investor starts to believe that smth is extremely valuable!
