Korean media reported that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix accounted for 99% of the KOSPI's rise from 7,000 to 9,000, highlighting the market's heavy reliance on chip stocks. The news underscores index concentration risk, as a chip stock correction could drag the broader market, but it also reflects strong semiconductor momentum supporting Korean equities. The impact on SK hynix shares is neutral.
