US Chip Stock Rout Raises 'Black Monday' Fears for Samsung and SK Hynix

A sharp selloff in US semiconductor stocks has raised fears in Korea that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix could face a 'Black Monday'-style plunge in the next session. As a global memory leader, SK Hynix is highly correlated with US chip shares, creating clear near-term sentiment pressure; if the move reflects sector rotation rather than deteriorating fundamentals, the long-term impact should be neutral.
