Overpopulation in the capital region was cited as a significant challenge.\n\nStocks on the Korean market closed nearly 1 percent higher on Wednesday, driven by stock repurchases by the country's leading chip manufacturers and easing external conditions. Investors are also anticipating the earnings release from Nvidia. The Korean won weakened against the U.S. dollar. The KOSPI index ended the day up 65.47 points, or 0.97 percent, at 6,808.21.\n\nSeven officials from the transport ministry have been referred to prosecutors for allegedly concealing information about the unfit condition of a localizer system that contributed to the high casualties in the 2024 Jeju Air plane crash.
