SK Square is trading 8.9% up today at KRW 1,154,000 as investors rotate back into Korean semiconductor-exposed stocks following a sharp sector selloff.

  • The rebound follows heavy profit-taking and AI-valuation concerns that recently weighed on industry leaders Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
  • Today’s move is primarily driven by renewed strength in global semiconductor shares and improved market risk appetite rather than company-specific news.
  • The recovery in chip-related names provides a significant lift to the KOSPI after the sector previously dragged the index lower.
