[경제]KOSPI fell 71 points…Samsung Group stocks fell all at once

[앵커]

As the Kospi, which has exceeded the 3,000 mark this year, has been rocking, today it has been difficult to maintain the 3,000 mark.

As the news of the legal arrest of Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was delivered, the shares of the Samsung Group fell at once.

Reporter Park Byung-han reports.

It was a day that showed that KOSPI broke the dream index of 3,000, but it was not easy to keep it.

The KOSPI closed at 3,013.93, down 71.97 points and 2.33% from the previous trading day.

Individual investors net bought 510 billion won, but foreigners net sold 220 billion won and institutions 270 billion won, respectively, leading the stock price decline.

The KOSPI was once pushed to 3,003 and there was a fear of collapse of the 3,000 line, but it recovered to the 3,010 line again thanks to the power of individual investors.
