Korean Stocks Fall 4th Day on Foreign Selling; Samsung, SK Hynix Weak

South Korean stocks fell for a fourth straight session after the holiday, with the KOSPI dropping to around 6500-6550 as foreign investors continued to sell chip stocks. Samsung Electronics fell about 1% and SK Hynix about 2%. Weakness in US chip stocks on OpenAI-related concerns further weighed on sentiment. The foreign outflow poses short-term pressure on SK Hynix shares, but the impact is likely neutral over the medium term as it reflects macro and sentiment factors.
