Seoul Composite Index extends intraday decline to 2%

A 2% intraday drop in the KOSPI is notable mainly as a signal of broad risk-off pressure in Seoul rather than a sector-specific story, since the move is described as deepening selling across the benchmark. It matters most for Korean equity exposure and for the read-across to how Asian risk sentiment is holding up more generally. The open question is whether the selling pressure persists into the close or stabilizes, and whether the pullback stays contained to Seoul or spreads regionally.
