Wreaths placed outside S Korea's Parliament as market crashes

Amid South Korea's stock market crashing by nearly 40% in a month, protesters placed condolence wreaths outside the National Assembly, accusing regulators of "slaughtering retail investors". Another wreath ribbon read, "Wait till payback time, I will repay next time I vote". Erasing $2 trillion in market value, the chip-led sell-off prompted an official apology from Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol.
