[THE INVESTOR] South Korean stocks turned higher late morning on Sept. 21, tracking gains on Wall Street.
The benchmark KOSPI gained 1.36 points, or 0.07 percent, to 2,027.07 as of 11:15 a.m.
The rise followed overnight gains on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.05 percent, with the tech-heavy NASDAQ composite index climbing 0.12 percent.

Market bellwether Samsung Electronics gained 0.44 percent and state-run utility firm Korea Electric Power Corp. was up 0.34 percent.
Top automaker Hyundai Motor was down 0.72 percent, while global chipmaker SK hynix lost 1.15 percent.
