description: "The Korea Fund (KF) dropped 12% on June 5, 2026, doubling the KOSPI's 5.54% decline due to its closed-end fund structure widening its discount during panic. This crash followed Broadcom's earnings report sparking AI chip concerns and strong U.S. payroll data reviving rate-hike fears, which weakened the Korean won and triggered foreign capital outflows from Korean equities."
