History

In June 1994, the Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), now the Korea Exchange, introduced the KOSPI 200 by selecting 200 stocks from various industry sectors listed on the KSE. The KOSPI 200 was initially a market capitalization-weighted index and adopted a free-float weighting method in 2007.[4][5] In 2017, the Korea Exchange adopted the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), replacing the Korea Standard Industry Classification previously used for sector classification in the KOSPI 200.[6][7]
