On November 5, as the KOSPI index tumbled alongside a sharp decline in U.S. technology stocks, dropping more than 5% during intraday trading and falling below the 3,900 mark, the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices were displayed on the status board at the Hana Bank dealing room in Jung-gu, Seoul. As of 9:09 a.m. that day, the KOSPI opened at 3,997.87, down 123.87 points (3.01%) from the previous session, surrendering the 3,900 level just seven trading days after surpassing 4,000.
