88% of Korean listed companies share a single governance weakness. The binding constraint is the board.

The TBR framework reads 2,662 companies across KOSPI and KOSDAQ and classifies 88% as Chameleon — a single-axis pattern in which board-side weakness is the dominant governance constraint. No other archetype reaches double digits. The pattern is structural, not cyclical, and the reform implications are specific.
