South Korean market plunges as president urges citizens not to despair
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 has publicly urged people not to take their own lives, a statement that has drawn wide attention online. The unusual appeal highlights the severity of the selloff and the alarm it is causing among South Korean investors. Commentators are debating what the intervention says about the government's response to the crisis.
Why now: The combination of a major market decline and an extraordinary presidential appeal about suicide makes the story striking and widely shared.
