Original: KOSPI falls below 7,000 as chip heavyweights slide after Chuseok
South Korea's KOSPI index fell below the 7,000 mark in trading after the Chuseok holiday, driven by declines in major semiconductor shares such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The pullback follows a strong run for Korean chipmakers this year, with investors weighing profit-taking and global chip demand concerns as markets reopen after the break.
