June 25 record high₩2,987,000
July 14 price₩1,913,000
Gap from the high₩1,074,000

The drawdown divides that gap by the record price.

Someone who bought one share at the high would have a price loss of ₩1,074,000. That is 36.0% of the original ₩2,987,000 investment.

A return to the high needs about 56.1%

The recovery calculation starts from ₩1,913,000, not from the old high.

The won gap remains ₩1,074,000 in both directions. On the way down, that gap is measured against ₩2,987,000. On the way back, it is measured against the smaller ₩1,913,000 base.

That is why a 36.0% drawdown does not break even after a 36.0% gain. A 36.0% gain from ₩1,913,000 reaches about ₩2,601,680, still roughly ₩385,320 below the record.

The high is not every investor's break-even price

The record high is a market reference. An investor's own break-even point depends on the actual purchase price. Someone who paid ₩2,500,000 needs the stock to return to ₩2,500,000 before fees and taxes, not to ₩2,987,000.
