South Korea market falls as president urges citizens against suicide
Original: South Korea's stock market down, president telling people not to commit suicide
South Korea's stock market has fallen sharply, and the country's president publicly urged people not to take their own lives, a plea widely read as a sign of the human toll of the financial turmoil. Commentators say the combination of crashing markets and appeals over suicide has stunned observers and drawn comparisons to past Korean financial crises.
Why now: The grim pairing of a market rout and a presidential plea over suicide has struck a nerve, evoking memories of South Korea's 1997 crisis-era suicide wave.
