KOSPI Falls to 6,800 on Samsung Earnings Caution; SK Hynix Drops Over 3%

South Korea's KOSPI fell nearly 2% on caution ahead of Samsung Electronics' earnings, barely holding 6,800. Foreign and institutional selling dragged SK Hynix down about 3% and Samsung 1.29%. The market worries about stretched valuations in memory chip stocks before results; short-term sentiment is weak, but shares could rebound if earnings beat expectations.
