  "account": "SK Hynix shares experienced a 3.6% drop to ₩1,611,000 on Tuesday following news that a significant union had rejected a proposed wage agreement. Reuters reported that out of 15,045 union members, just over 50% voted against the agreement. The tentative deal, signed last week, offered a 6.3% wage increase and altered SK Hynix's profit-sharing bonus structure to 40% cash and 60% stock. The company and Samsung have been closely monitoring their profit distribution models, particularly after both companies benefited immensely from AI-driven demand. Earlier this week, a disappointing profit report from Samsung's AI-linked shares negatively impacted both stocks. The broader market sentiment was also affected by Nvidia's upcoming earnings report, which is anticipated later in the week. The KOSPI index fell by 3% on Tuesday, reflecting the market's reaction to these developments. This report was AI-assisted, reviewed by an editor, and does not include speculative content.",
