The South Korea stock market crash intensified as the KOSPI fell as much as 5.5%, extending one of the fastest declines in modern Asian market history. The index has dropped about 38% from its June peak in just 27 trading days, despite a brief rebound last week. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both declined around 9%, while foreign investors sold approximately $698 million worth of Korean equities after record buying on Friday. Concerns over China’s rapid advances in AI and semiconductor technology continue to weigh on sentiment toward South Korea’s chipmakers and broader equity market.
