But in one day, the mood has completely changed.
The KOSPI, which started on a downward trend, increased its decline over time, and eventually ended the transaction with a drop of more than 2%.
The KOSDAQ index fell more than this, pushing close to 4%.

The won-dollar exchange rate, which plunged more than 20 won the previous day, could not withstand it either.
It started off lower, but eventually rebounded and rose close to 10 won again.
The government is also closely monitoring the situation due to concerns that volatility in the domestic financial market may increase.

He said that it is difficult to predict the aftermath of this situation, and emphasized that he would keep an eye on the situation.
