Yesterday (13th) In the KOSDAQ market, a circuit breaker was triggered to temporarily suspend trading due to the stock price plunging in just four minutes.

The circuit breaker was triggered yesterday at 10:43 a.m. in the stock market, where the KOSPI dropped by more than 8% in the beginning.

Circuit breakers have been triggered in the securities market for 18 years and 6 months, and it is the first time in Korea stock markets to be triggered in both markets.

In the afternoon, as the decline fell somewhat, yesterday's KOSPI ended 3.4% and the KOSDAQ index fell 7%.

The uncertainty over how long stock prices will last has weighed on investors.
