We follow the real intraday graph as the index crosses the 8% threshold. Then we see the 20-minute suspension, the separate 10-minute reopening auction, and the return to continuous trading. The pause did not erase the loss. The KOSPI eventually closed at 6,023.66, down 10.84% for the day. The graph shows exactly what a marketwide circuit breaker does when prices fall unusually fast.
