South Korea’s KOSPI fell more than 8% on June 23, triggering circuit breakers twice, as Japan’s Nikkei 225 snapped an eight-session winning streak in a tech-led regional selloff. The moves were driven by weakness in US technology stocks, according to BeInCrypto, with the Korea Exchange triggering a sell-side circuit breaker at 11:40 a.m. and a first-stage breaker around 2:40 p.m. as the index hit 8,375.31, down 8.11%.

Samsung Electronics fell 8.77% to 322,500 won and SK Hynix dropped 11.55% to 2.582 million won amid foreign net selling.
