**HANA FINANCIAL TUMBLES ON FOREIGN SELLING**
Shares in Hana Financial Group <086790.KS> fell for a fourth consecutive session on Friday on persistent worries about its financial health, and after a foreign brokerage terminated coverage of the firm.
JP Morgan said on Friday it had stopped covering Hana Financial from early this week.
"JP Morgan is is said to have cited Hana Financial Group's failure to disclose necessary information critical to analysts for its termination of the company coverage," said Park Jung-hyun, an analyst at Hanwha Securities.
"Normally in cases like this foreign investors would put sell orders on shares that are no longer covered by a reputable brokerage," Park added.
Analysts also said Hana Financial was expected to see large foreign currency option-related losses due to a weakening won currency.
Citigroup was the top seller of Hana Financial Group, and Credit Suisse the fifth largest.
Separtely JF Asset Management, part of JP Morgan Asset Management, said on Wednesday it had cut its holdings in Hana Financial to 3.63 percent from the previous 6.46 percent.
