South Korean stocks opened sharply higher on Monday as investors took to purchasing stocks at a bargain, owing to last week's technology-led selloff on profitability concerns over AI companies, Yonhap News reported the same day.

Shares of market bigwigs Samsung Electronics (KRX:005930) and SK Hynix (KRX:000660) rose more than 4% and nearly 5%, respectively, in recent trade. Shares of Hyundai Motor (KRX:005380) and Kia (KRX:000270) increased over 2% and 1%, respectively.
