On the afternoon of the 8th, while the KOSPI and KOSDAQ plunged more than 5%, Seosan (079650) showed an unusual trend, surging by 17% and triggering a Static Volatility Interruption (VI) during the session.

According to the Korea Exchange, a static VI for Seosan was triggered at 12:39:22 p.m. that day and was lifted about two minutes later at 12:41:30 p.m. The stock continued its strong upward trend, trading at 5,620 won, up 845 won (17.70%) from the previous trading day as of 2:25 p.m.

At the same time, the broader stock market was experiencing a severe bearish trend. The KOSPI closed at 7,232.30, down 424.01 points (5.53%) from the previous day, and the KOSDAQ also fell 49.31 points (5.93%) to close at 781.92, significantly dampening investor sentiment. In contrast to the market environment where both major indices plunged, buying pressure concentrated on Seosan, drawing strong interest from investors.

However, since the VI trigger is an institutional mechanism indicating that short-term price volatility has expanded, investors should exercise caution in their investment decisions by also considering future trading volume and supply-demand changes.
