AI Profitability Fears Sink Kospi; SK Hynix Falls 7%

AI profitability worries drove the Kospi down 3.48%, with tech leading the selloff and SK Hynix falling about 7%. Weakness in overseas tech stocks spread to automakers and defense names, souring sentiment. Near term the stock faces pressure and higher volatility; the longer-term direction hinges on AI memory demand and earnings delivery, so it remains unclear.
