5.11 points, or 0.26 percent, to 1,994.62 in the first 15 minutes of trading.
Tech heavyweight Samsung Electronics slipped 0.3 percent, with No. 1 steelmaker POSCO losing more than 1 percent.
In contrast, telecom shares trended upwards, with top mobile carrier SK Telecom rising 0.6 percent.
The local currency was trading at 1,101.60 won against the U.S.
dollar as of 9:15 a.m., down 4.2 won from Wednesday's close. (Yonhap News)
