South Korea faces unprecedented turmoil in aftermath of Yoon's martial law
South Korean stocks got off to a weak start Thursday, erasing a two-day rally in the previous sessions, as blue-chip tech firms lost ground, analysts said.

dollar as of 9:15 a.m., down 2.9 won from Wednesday's close. (Yonhap News)
