No. 1 automaker Hyundai Motor gained 0.69 percent, and its smaller affiliate Kia Motors went down 0.2 percent.
On Monday, China's stock market plunged nearly 7 percent, hitting the lowest level in nearly three months on renewed concerns over a slowdown in the world's No. 2 economy.
U.S. stocks dropped 1.58 percent on Monday amid concerns over a slowdown in China and rising tension between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
