Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's benchmark KOSPI fell 3.48% on Friday, closing at 5,730.74, as concerns over returns on artificial intelligence investments triggered a tech-led selloff (Korea Times, Yonhap). The drop followed weak earnings from Alphabet and worries over AI costs, with foreign investors net-selling 1.8 trillion won in the KOSPI market (Chosun Ilbo). Heavyweight chipmakers Samsung Electronics fell about 3% and SK hynix dropped 7%, and a sell-side circuit breaker was triggered during the session (Dong-A Ilbo, Korea Economic Daily). The tech-heavy KOSDAQ also lost 28.85 points, or over 3% (KBS World).
