The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index shed 6.13 points, or 0.31 percent, to 1,957.93 in the first 15 minutes of trading.

Blue-chip shares opened in negative terrain, with institutions and foreign investors trimming their holdings. Financial and telecom issues were leading the downward move.
