KOSPI tumbles below 7,000 in 'Black Monday' sell-off

KOSPI fell nearly 9 percent to below 7,000 Monday, as a rout in semiconductor shares overshadowed the blockbuster U.S. debut of SK hynix's American depositary receipts (ADRs). SK hynix and Samsung Electronics, which together account for more than 60 percent of KOSPI's market capitalization, plunged 15.37 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively, dragging the index sharply lower. KOSPI closed at 6,806.93, down 8.95 percent from the previous session, according to the Korea Exchange. The sell-off triggered the market's 35th sell-side program-trading curb and seventh circuit breaker of the year. SK hynix ended at 1,845,000 won ($1,228.74), while Samsung Electronics closed at 254,500 won. The sell-off dashed hopes that SK hynix's U.S. listing would help revive the Korean stock market, which has fallen about 27.5 percent from its record intraday high of 9,385.59 set on June 19. SK hynix's ADRs, trading under the ticker SKHY, closed at $168 on Friday, up 12.8 percent from the $149 offering price. The listing surpassed Alibaba's to become the largest U.S. fundraising by a foreign company on record.

Gwangju schoolgirl murder suspect admits rape-murder charge

Jang Yoon-gi, the 23-year-old suspected of killing a high school girl in Gwangju, admitted to the rape-murder charge on Monday, reversing his earlier claim that the killing was the result of an impulse and not sexually motivated. His admission was made only after a dashboard camera video clip showing his crime was collected as evidence through the prosecution's supplementary investigation. Jang's case has added to controversy over the government's move to strip prosecutors of their supplementary investigative powers amid systemic failures within the local police. At a court hearing in Gwangju, Jang, who was indicted last month on charges of stabbing and killing the 16-year-old girl in the southwestern city in May, told the court “Yes” when asked whether he admitted to the charges, including full rape-murder charge. Following his arrest, Jang had claimed the murder was the result of an impulse, repeatedly saying he wanted to kill someone before taking his own life. The police initially forwarded the case with simple murder charges. The prosecution, however, upgraded the charges to rap

Bill to pre-screen music harmful to minors sparks censorship fears

A proposed bill requiring music distributors to screen song lyrics before release is sparking censorship concerns, with critics questioning how far the state should be allowed to go in policing creative content. The amendment to the Music Industry Promotion Act was submitted last week by Rep. Kim Hyun and nine other lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea. The bill would require music distributors to pre-screen all tracks to determine whether they contain content harmful to minors before release. If any song is judged harmful and its creator is under 19, the distributor must block the track from release altogether. If the artist is an adult, the distributor must notify them that the track may be designated harmful to youth in advance, which would restrict it to adult listeners only. Under the current system, songs containing sexually explicit, violent or hateful content can be designated harmful to youth after release, which bans minors from accessing them and limits distribution. The Youth Protection Committee under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family reviews content d

Who wins Messi-Ronaldo GOAT debate?

After the eras of Pelé and Diego Maradona faded, world football came to be defined by two names for nearly two decades: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Locked in an intense battle for the sport's highest honors, the two legends turned the "GOAT" (greatest of all time) debate into a defining part of football culture. Each pushed the other to greater heights, leaving behind one of the most remarkable rivalries in the history of the game. As the curtain falls on the Messi-Ronaldo era following the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup, here's a look back at their 20-year battle for football supremacy. The rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo truly took shape in 2008, when Ronaldo — then with Manchester United — and Messi of Barcelona faced off for the first time in the UEFA Champions League semifinals. The first round went to Ronaldo. He led United to the final, scored against Chelsea in the championship match, helped the club lift the trophy, and claimed his first Ballon d'Or later that year. The rivalry intensified the following season after Ronaldo's blockbuster move to Real Madrid. Their battl

Who will acquire troubled JoongAng Ilbo?

With JoongAng Ilbo entering a workout following a liquidity crisis, attention is turning to who will acquire one of Korea's leading newspaper publishers, with construction firms emerging as likely buyers, industry officials said Monday. As construction companies increasingly expand into the media sector to diversify their business portfolios and strengthen brand recognition, JoongAng Ilbo's decision to put management rights up for sale has fueled speculation that they may seek acquisition. Among the names most frequently mentioned are Hoban Group and Booyoung Group, both of which already have media holdings. Hoban is viewed as a potential purchaser as it acquired national daily Seoul Shinmun, technology newspaper Electronic Times and business news outlet EBN in 2021, though it later sold Electronic Times in 2023. Booyoung has also emerged as a potential buyer. The group owns regional newspapers Incheon Ilbo and Jeju-based Halla Ilbo through its affiliates, and holds a 5.5 percent minor stake in broadcaster TV Chosun.

Tight timeline puts southwestern chip cluster plan at risk

As the Korean government pushes to complete a new 800 trillion won ($532 billion) semiconductor cluster in the country's southwestern region and begin mass production there by 2030 — within President Lee Jae Myung's single five-year term — concerns are growing that the tight timeline could put the entire project at risk. The government stresses that the target is achievable by rolling out measures to address concerns raised by experts over securing sufficient industrial water, power supply, workforce and land, but industry officials argue the timeline is based on the optimistic assumption that every step will proceed without delays. Given that the downside risks are as significant as the scale of the investment, they say the government should allow for greater flexibility rather than becoming overly fixated on its political timetable. According to government officials, the central government is accelerating plans to relocate facilities at Gwangju Military Air Base, the site selected for the semiconductor cluster, to nearby Muan County, South Jeolla Province. It aims to begin the rel

BOK poised for rate hike Thursday as markets eye further tightening

The Bank of Korea (BOK) is widely expected to raise its benchmark interest rate on Thursday, with markets focusing on whether the central bank will signal further tightening, analysts said Monday. The BOK is anticipated to raise its policy rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 2.75 percent, at Thursday's Monetary Policy Board meeting, in what would mark its first rate increase since January 2023. Markets are increasingly eyeing another 0.25 percentage point hike as early as August or October. Citibank expects the central bank to raise rates unanimously this week. "We expect the BOK to hike its policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.75 percent without a dissenting opinion. We expect Gov. Shin Hyun-song's press conference will likely point to a gradual pace of hiking cycle for the second half of 2026, implying a 25 basis points hike per quarter," Citibank economist Kim Jin-wook wrote in a report. Citibank expects the BOK to continue its gradual tightening cycle, with additional 0.25 percentage point hikes in October, January and April in 2027, bringing the policy rate to a terminal rate of 3.5 pe

Foreign exchange authorities prioritize market imbalances over exchange rate level

As the won-dollar exchange rate remains at unusually elevated levels despite record-high exports fueled by strong semiconductor demand, market attention has increasingly turned to the question of how much ammunition foreign exchange authorities have. Typically, stronger exports lead to increased dollar inflows, which support the won and push down the exchange rate. This time, however, the exchange rate has remained in the psychologically significant 1,500-won range for about two months. The won has fallen about 8 percent against the dollar this year, while the dollar index has risen about 3 percent during the first half. On Monday, the won also traded in the 1,500-won-per-dollar range before closing at 1,503.4 won in onshore trading, down 2.0 won. A prolonged period of won depreciation could fuel higher import costs, squeeze corporate margins and erode households' real purchasing power. Following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Korea adopted a free-floating exchange rate system in which the won's value is driven by market demand and supply rather than government-set levels.

EXPLAINER How $133 mil. funding dispute between MBK, Meritz pushed Homeplus toward collapse

Once Korea’s second-largest discount store operator, Homeplus decided to temporarily close stores beginning Monday after running out of cash, leaving it unable to pay suppliers or even cover basic operating expenses. The retailer now faces an uncertain future after the Seoul Bankruptcy Court terminated its rehabilitation proceedings earlier this month. Without an immediate 200 billion won ($133 million) cash injection, industry observers say it is effectively on the path toward liquidation unless a last-minute rescue materializes. Why $133 million? So why has 200 billion won become the figure that could determine Homeplus’ fate? The number represents the minimum amount the court said the company needed to carry out its restructuring plan. After years of struggling with the decline of Korea’s hypermarket sector and consumers’ shift to online shopping, Homeplus — owned by private equity firm MBK Partners — initially sought a buyer. But no deal materialized. One hurdle was an accounting assessment showing that the company’s liquidation value was more than 1 trillion won higher th

Why political neutrality rules leave teachers unable to address classroom hate speech

Korean teachers say the growing problem with hate speech among teenagers in the classroom could be addressed by expanding educators' political rights, while experts stress that adults must model responsible language first. Concern has intensified following a series of controversies, including an incident last month when Paichai High School students chanted a phrase condemned as a direct reference denigrating the 1980 pro-democracy movement in Gwangju, prompting calls for a broader look at how schools address the issue. A survey by the Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union, released last week, found that 89.3 percent of 1,109 elementary, middle and high school teachers nationwide had witnessed or heard about students engaging in hate speech, discrimination, historical distortion or anti-democratic expressions in their remarks, assignments or presentations over the past year. The most commonly encountered expressions mocked politicians or historical figures, cited by 88.9 percent of teachers, with 58.2 percent saying they heard such remarks repeatedly and often. That reality is fami

InterviewUniversities can't be world-class without real-world impact, THE says

LONDON — The race for global university excellence is entering a new phase. Producing influential research is no longer enough. Universities are increasingly judged by how effectively they transform knowledge into innovation, industry partnerships and real-world impact. "Leading universities must demonstrate that their work contributes not only to academic scholarship, but also to innovation, industry, public policy and solutions to global challenges," Phil Baty, chief global affairs officer at Times Higher Education (THE), said in a recent interview with The Korea Times. "A modern global research university has to translate its ideas into the real world through intellectual property, industry collaboration and patents." Research has long been the cornerstone of THE's world university rankings, reflecting the organization's original mission of helping governments and university leaders benchmark research competitiveness rather than serving primarily as a guide for prospective students.

Hit comedy 'Okay! Madam' returns with luxury cruise sequel

The action-comedy film "Okay! Madam," which drew over 1.22 million viewers amid the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020, is returning with its sequel, "Okay! Madam: Bon Voyage." Director Lee Cheol-ha expressed his deep gratitude and excitement about the sequel, recalling the bittersweet memories of releasing the original film during the height of the pandemic. "I remember looking back at the situation six years ago when the pandemic was spreading and prebooked tickets were being canceled, which made the actors very sad during our promotional events," Lee said during a press conference in Seoul on Monday. "It was heartbreaking that our hard work could not reach more viewers at the time, but we were so grateful that many people still watched it, and the film generated good revenue through streaming platforms, which allowed us to make this sequel." The sequel expands its universe from an airplane in the first movie to a massive luxury cruise ship, following a former secret agent Mi-young (Uhm Jung-hwa) and her family, who get caught up in a cruise hijacking in the middle of the ocean.

3 major department stores post record H1 foreign sales amid K-wave

Korea's three major department store chains said Monday they posted record first-half sales from foreign shoppers, driven by the growing popularity of Korean fashion and other K-content. In the January-June period, foreign purchases at Hyundai Department Store, Shinsegae Department Store and Lotte Department Store reached 500 billion won ($332 million), 580 billion won and 600 billion won, respectively, nearing their full-year totals for 2025, according to the companies' sales data. In 2025, Hyundai, Shinsegae and Lotte posted foreign sales of 700 billion won, 650 billion won and 730 billion won, respectively. All three expect their annual foreign sales to exceed 1 trillion won for the first time this year. "Foreign sales at Lotte Department Store's Myeongdong branch in central Seoul surged 140 percent from a year earlier in the first half, with foreign shoppers accounting for 70 percent of sales at Kinetic Ground, a dedicated K-fashion zone targeting young global consumers," a Lotte source said.

Local casinos regain momentum as Chinese group tourists return

Korea’s foreigner-only casinos are gaining renewed momentum this year, triggered by a steady recovery in inbound tourism and expectations of a surge in Chinese group travel in the second half, according to a recent analysis by Shinhan Securities. According to Shinhan’s analysis report, unlike other tourism segments that move with domestic consumption, casino performance is closely tied to inbound flows, making the pace of Chinese visitor growth the key variable for the remainder of the year. “Inbound indicators such as arrivals, foreign spending and foreigner-only casino earnings are now numerically confirming what the market is feeling as an inbound boom,” Ji In-hae, an analyst at Shinhan, said. Korea’s casino industry is open only to foreign visitors as domestic gambling is tightly controlled under Korean law — Kangwon Land is the only casino open to Koreans. Korea launched a temporary visa-free program for Chinese group tourists last September to revive inbound tourism and regional economies. The brokerage expects earnings to improve across the board, but says the extent of

Disney+ bets on 'A Shop for Killers' sequel to break Netflix winning streak

The Disney+ original series "A Shop for Killers" returns for a second season on July 22, two-and-a-half years after its debut. The platform expects the returning series to regain momentum following a sluggish first half of the year dominated by Netflix. Ji-an, played by Kim Hye-jun, now controls the online weapons shop following a brutal initiation into the business. She mounts a counteroffensive against the global syndicate Babylon alongside her uncle Jin-man, played by Lee Dong-wook, who turns up alive. The sequel expands the narrative and deepens the central relationships between the characters. The follow-up builds on the first season's success. The original series led the Disney+ viewership charts for three consecutive weeks and attracted a global audience. It also gained critical acclaim, earning spots on The New York Times' list of best international TV shows of 2024 and TIME magazine's top four Korean dramas of the year for its distinctive premise and strong cast performances.

K-beauty shopping diversifies beyond Olive Young

K-beauty shopping is expanding beyond Olive Young, long the dominant retail destination for both domestic consumers and foreign tourists, to a wider range of platforms. Retail platforms that previously focused on either fashion or food have begun testing their capabilities in beauty, while e-commerce platforms and department stores have introduced separate brands and platforms dedicated to the cosmetics sector. For an industry that has experienced exponential growth worldwide, a more diversified retail landscape is expected to further boost consumption and support its long-term growth. The country's three largest retail platforms are all expanding into the beauty market. Musinsa Beauty, operated by fashion giant Musinsa, is leveraging the company's rapidly expanding offline store network in Korea and overseas to broaden its beauty portfolio and grow its offline presence.

BOK sees AI-driven chip supercycle continuing, dismisses 'peak-out' concerns

The Korean central bank said the global semiconductor market remains undersupplied and the current AI-driven supercycle is expected to continue for some time, according to a report released Monday, dismissing investors' concerns that the chip cycle has already peaked. "While semiconductor demand has surged significantly due to investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, the pace of supply expansion has been slow," the Bank of Korea (BOK) said in a report submitted to Rep. Park Sung-hoon, adding that the semiconductor cycle has yet to slow. The BOK said the current chip cycle differs from previous ones because it is being driven by competitive corporate investment in anticipation of fundamental changes to the industrial ecosystem brought about by the spread of AI. "The pace of supply expansion is more constrained than in the past, as the market is led by custom products such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM)," the BOK said. "The global semiconductor market is expected to continue its expansionary trend for a considerable period." The report comes amid growing concerns over de

Gwangju Airport semiconductor hub plan risks new Korea-US friction

Gwangju Airport semiconductor hub plan risks new Korea-US friction

The Korean government's plan to transform Gwangju Airport, also known as Gwangju Air Base, into a flagship semiconductor cluster for the country's southwestern region faces an alliance hurdle, as the facility serves as a Korea-U.S. Air Force Collocated Operating Base (COB), meaning any redevelopment will require close consultations with Washington. Established in 1964, Gwangju Airport is a Ministry of National Defense-owned dual-use facility shared by the Air Force and domestic civilian aviation. The civilian side has already been earmarked for transfer to Muan International Airport in Muan County, South Jeolla Province, subject to the completion of a KTX extension slated for December 2027. The military relocation involves a far more complex set of considerations. As one of five COBs in Korea, Gwangju Airport is designated as a location where U.S. air assets can rapidly deploy in a contingency, even though no American operational units are permanently stationed there during peacetime. Portions of the installation are understood to have been provided to the U.S. side under the Status of

Sinchon skate shop hosts Korean punk zine fair

Spin and Grind, a skate shop newly opened in western Seoul's Sinchon area, is holding a zine fair this weekend. "CUT & PASTE: A Korean Punk & Hardcore Zine Fair" celebrates the history and culture of zines documenting Korea's punk and hardcore scene. A curated selection of zines dating back to the early 2000s will be on display, alongside newly released and reprinted titles available for purchase. "I wanted to inspire more people to start making their own zines," Victor Ha, Spin and Grind's proprietor, told The Korea Times. "I also wanted to archive as many zines published in Korea as possible and create a snapshot of the Korean zine scene as it exists today." The zine titles he's rounded up so far include "Army Life" (2005) by Geeks guitarist Kang Jun-sung, "Red Flag" by Rux frontman Won Jong-hee (2004-06) and "Faithful Youth" (2004-10) by Lee Geon-hee of Busan hardcore band All I Have. There are zines in Korean and English. Some of the zines are closer to full-scale books, such as the photo books "Seoul Punx" (2017) by Jung You-jin and "The More I See" (2011-15) by Scumraid drummer Lee

Summer foods that can lead to weight gain

Click here for more articles by Kormedi.com. As temperatures soar, many people reach for refreshing summer favorites such as naengmyeon (cold noodles), kongguksu (soy milk noodles) and shaved ice desserts. But these seasonal staples often contain far more calories, sugar and sodium than expected. Here are five popular summer foods that may quietly sabotage your diet. Naengmyeon Depending on the type, a serving of naengmyeon contains about 500 to 700 calories. More concerning than the calorie count, however, are its high carbohydrate and sodium levels. Many commercially sold naengmyeon noodles contain relatively little buckwheat and are instead made primarily from starch, making them high in carbohydrates. The chilled broth also often contains sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Drinking all of the broth can provide more than half of the recommended daily sodium intake. Those trying to lose weight are advised to leave most of the broth behind. Adding a boiled egg or slices of lean meat can boost protein intake, helping slow blood sugar spikes and keep you feeling full longer. Kongguksu A bowl

BTS leaves fans hunting for London Korean restaurant after post-show feast

After wrapping up two sold-out concerts in London, BTS reunited for a relaxed team dinner that quickly caught fans' attention — not because of the stage, but because of what was on the table. On Saturday, V shared a series of photos on social media with the short caption "GB." The images showed all seven BTS members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook — gathered around a table at a Korean restaurant after completing the London leg of their world tour. Having changed into casual clothes after the concerts, the group posed while enjoying a traditional Korean meal featuring grilled pork belly, along with soybean paste stew and other Korean dishes. The photos quickly drew attention online, with fans expressing envy over the restaurant visit as well as curiosity about its location.
