The KOSPI dropped from the 7,000-point level to 5,000 points over just seven trading days, with the sharp decline attributed in part to mounting controversy over the profitability of AI-related investments, according to a fact-check report citing data from the Korea Exchange (KRX).
The index's fall from 7,000 to 5,000 points took place within a span of seven trading days, based on KRX data referenced in the report. Images attached to the report include KRX charts and a Gartner graphic, supporting the market data underlying the claim.
