On the 3rd, the first trading day on the domestic market after the U.S. attack on Iran, the KOSPI plunged more than 4% intraday and even surrendered the 6000 level.

As of 11:21 a.m. that day, the KOSPI was trading at 5987.15, down 256.98 points (4.12%) intraday, giving up the 6000 line. With Asian markets generally weak, foreign investors are dumping more than 3 trillion won, and the index is plunging.

On the day, foreigners are net sellers of over 3.5 trillion won. Individuals are net buyers of 3.5 trillion won, trying to defend the index, but it has not been enough.

Large-cap stocks that had risen steeply are slumping and dragging the index down. Samsung Electronics (-4.5%), SK Hynix (-5.09%), Hyundai Motor (-6.97%), and Kia (-8.03%) have all fallen more than 4%.
