South Korea LNG imports fall 9% YoY in September to 3.565M tons

South Korea's September LNG imports dropped 9% year-on-year to 3.565 million tons, per customs data. The decline suggests softer demand amid high inventories or mild weather, but the single-month figure does not establish a trend. This matters as South Korea is the world's third-largest LNG buyer, and reduced purchases could ease global LNG market tightness.
