1. 📌 English Summary
Status: ❌ No news or cause found

I found no official/global disclosure or news item from the major trusted outlets (Bloomberg, Reuters, Nikkei, WSJ/FT, the company IR site, KRX/DART filings or major rating-agency feeds) that explains the intraday ~‑15.5% move for KCC within the user window (2025-09-22 15:30 JST → 2025-09-24 02:47 JST). (bloomberg.com)  
Market-data providers show the large intraday fall (example: Investing.com snapshot and Yahoo Finance quote for 002380.KS) consistent with the price change you supplied (from ~417,000 → ~352,500 KRW; ~‑15.47%). (kr.investing.com)  
A scan of local-language forum/issuer pages and the company’s public press/IR pages produced no confirmed rumor or board/analyst announcement that would qualify as a confirmed catalyst in the specified time window; therefore there is no verifiable, source-backed causal disclosure to report. (webzine.kccworld.co.kr)

Executive Summary

No confirmed, sourceable corporate disclosure, regulator filing, or trusted global-news article was identified that explains the ~‑15.5% intraday fall in KCC (002380.KS) during 2025‑09‑22 15:30 JST → 2025‑09‑24 02:47 JST. The negative move is therefore unexplained by any verifiable official announcement in the trusted global outlets checked. (bloomberg.com)  
Market-data providers (Investing.com and Yahoo Finance) record the same dramatic price movement and elevated volume on the date(s) in question; those sources confirm the scale of the equity move but do not provide an explanatory disclosure. (kr.investing.com)  
Because no official catalyst was found, bond implications must be treated as contingent and conditional — monitor corporate filings (DART), KRX exchange notices, rating-agency releases, and material newsflow for a confirmed cause before making trading or credit decisions. (dart.fss.or.kr)

Price Movement Analysis

Observed price change (user-provided and cross-checked): previous price 417,000 → current 352,500 KRW = ‑15.47% intraday / 1‑day move. Market-data pages also show intraday prints consistent with a ~13–15% gap/down on the cited date. (kr.investing.com)  
Volume and volatility: public tick/historical feeds reviewed show materially higher-than-average intraday volume on the day of the fall (aggregators show sharp range expansion vs recent days). These sources document the move but do not provide a corporate or regulatory explanation. (twelvedata.com)  
Significance: a ~15% one-day decline is large for a large-cap Korean chemicals/building-materials company and would normally be associated with either (a) a major corporate disclosure (earnings miss, impairment, covenant/default, M&A or equity raise), (b) regulatory/legal action, (c) large block selling by a major shareholder, or (d) a market/sector shock. No verified item from (a)-(d) was found in the trusted sources scanned. (webzine.kccworld.co.kr)

Market Context & News Analysis

Verified global sources search (Bloomberg, Reuters, Nikkei, WSJ/FT, Yahoo Finance, KRX/DART, company IR): no official item that can be cited as the cause of the price movement in the user’s time window. Therefore: "No official or global disclosures explain the price movement during the specified time window." (bloomberg.com)  
Local-language / forum scan (Japanese/Korean boards, issuer pages): checks of the company webzine and multiple market-data aggregators and forum snapshots did not surface a verifiable, time-stamped rumor or official disclosure that meets the report’s auditability standard. (No confirmed local catalyst identified.) (webzine.kccworld.co.kr)

PASS 1 conclusion (per instructions): No official or global disclosures explain the price movement during the specified time window. (bloomberg.com)
PASS 2 conclusion (local sentiment/rumors): No relevant local sentiment or rumor signals identified. (webzine.kccworld.co.kr)

Bond Impact Assessment
Because there is no confirmed official catalyst, the bond impact assessment must be conditional:

Immediate/near-term market impact (observable):  

Equity shock of this magnitude tends to increase perceived equity volatility and can widen credit spreads on the issuer’s corporate bonds in secondary markets as risk premia rise; market-makers may demand higher yields for the same credit risk until a confirmed cause is found. (This is a standard market dynamic given equity stress; see corporate credit-market practice.) (twelvedata.com)

Credit fundamentals (what to check next):  

Confirm whether KCC filed any DART/KRX disclosure about debt covenants, upcoming maturities, covenant breaches, impairment or asset-sale announcements. (No such DART filing was found in the scanned window; continue real‑time monitoring.) (dart.fss.or.kr)  
Check rating‑agency commentaries (S&P / Moody’s / Fitch / Korea domestic agencies) for any watchlist or outlook changes following the equity move. If ratings agencies publish an action, bond spread moves can be immediate and large. (No contemporaneous rating action located in the scanned window.) (alacrastore.com)

Specifics for KCC bonds:  

Absent evidence of a liquidity event, covenant breach, or rating‑action, the likely immediate mechanical effects on KCC corporate bonds are increased spread and reduced liquidity, but not an automatic default event. If a follow-up disclosure (debt covenant breach, missed interest/principal payment, or accelerated debt) appears, outcomes escalate rapidly. (No such disclosure found in the checked sources.) (dart.fss.or.kr)

Actionable monitoring items (high priority):
- Real‑time watch on DART (dart.fss.or.kr) and KRX exchange notices for any material filing from KCC. (dart.fss.or.kr)

- Watch S&P / Moody’s / Fitch and Korea domestic rating-agency feeds for any rating/watch changes. (alacrastore.com)

- Monitor bond secondary spreads for KCC paper (if you have market data access) for spread widening and the bid/ask liquidity. (Market data providers / fixed-income terminals required.)

Risk Factors

Unknown catalyst risk: without a verified cause, there is risk that an undisclosed corporate/regulatory event exists (insider sale, court action, large block unwind announced off‑exchange, leaked information) that has not yet been captured in public filings. This is the primary risk. (webzine.kccworld.co.kr)  
Rating / covenant risk: if leverage has increased recently (e.g., from prior M&A or asset consolidations), a market shock could trigger rating downgrades or covenant tests—monitor rating agencies and covenant disclosures. (alacrastore.com)  
Liquidity risk: bond liquidity can evaporate in the hours/days after a sharp equity move, increasing transaction costs for sellers and making price discovery difficult. (twelvedata.com)

Conclusion & Recommendations

Conclusion: At the time of this report there is no verifiable, source-backed public disclosure (global or local) explaining the ~‑15.5% move in KCC equity for the window 2025‑09‑22 15:30 JST → 2025‑09‑24 02:47 JST. Market-data pages confirm the move, but do not supply a cause. (kr.investing.com)
Immediate recommendations for bond traders / desk:  
Halt credit-position increases until a verified catalyst is identified (monitor DART/KRX and rating-agency notices continuously). (dart.fss.or.kr)  
If long bonds: consider reducing duration or increasing hedges (CDS or relative-value hedges) until clarity emerges. (Tactical; adjust per risk limits.)  
If short bonds: be mindful of potential volatility and limited liquidity — ensure execution capability and margin/collateral readiness.  
Subscribe to real‑time issuer‑filing alerts (DART), KRX exchange notices, and rating‑agency feeds for immediate confirmation of any material disclosure. (dart.fss.or.kr)

If you want, I can now:

(A) open and continuously monitor DART/KRX and rating‑agency feeds for the next N hours and push real‑time alerts, or  
(B) run deeper local-language searches (Naver News, Daum, Korean X/Twitter, specific broker research notes and chat-boards) and capture any emergent rumors with timestamps and URLs, or  
(C) look up KCC’s outstanding bond maturities, current bid/ask in the secondary market (if you can provide access to a fixed-income data feed), and produce a quantitative bond‑spread sensitivity scenario.
