Korean Stocks Fall for Third Day; KOSPI Drops 2.62%

Korean stocks fell for a third straight session, with the KOSPI dropping 2.62% and both Samsung Electronics and SK hynix down more than 2%. Concerns over memory demand and foreign outflows weighed on large-cap chip names, dragging the index lower. This is negative for SK hynix shares in the short term, though the long-term impact may be limited if it proves a sentiment-driven pullback.
