As of 9:35 a.m. that day on the Korea Exchange, LG Electronics was trading at 122,100 won, down 5,800 won (4.53%) from the previous session.

The previous day, LG Electronics shares soared 22.98% on expectations for new businesses such as a humanoid based on the artificial intelligence (AI) model Exaone.
