Index Reaches 6,000 Zone

The index began the session with a strong flat opening, then climbed to the 6,000 range during trading. The 6,000 level represents a psychologically significant threshold for the Korean market, which has been lifted in recent periods by gains in semiconductor and AI-related shares.

Semiconductor and AI Shares in Focus

Market movement in Korea continues to draw close attention to major listed technology companies, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, whose semiconductor businesses — spanning memory, foundry and AI-related demand — carry substantial weight in the index. Details on the exact closing level and individual stock contributions were not provided in the source material.

The claim that the KOSPI started strongly flat and reached the 6,000 line is True.
