Ask what Korea is talking about.

Fears that the AI investment cycle may be nearing its peak triggered a wave of panic selling in semiconductor stocks, sending shares of Korea's two chipmaking giants, Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, lower and crashing the KOSPI below 5000 during trading on Friday, Nov. 6. Yonhap reports Seoul stocks sank for the second consecutive session on the AI rout after the U.S. midterms, while the Korea Times says the sell-off overwhelmed Wall Street, more than erasing all its gains from the day before, which was its best in three months. The Chosun Ilbo describes the shockwave of U.S.-originated AI tech stock dumping hitting the Korean market, and the Korea Economic Daily reports that 4,300 trillion won evaporated in a single day as New York stocks collapsed on AI fears. Korean investors are reacting with panic selling, as the AI investment cycle's potential peak spurs widespread anxiety, though the Korea Times notes AI stocks bounced back Friday, recovering some of their sell-off from the last two days, and KBS World reports Wall Street rallied on robust jobs data and Trump's AI backing, with the NASDAQ climbing 264.42 points, or 1.09 percent.
