* KOSPI falls, foreigners net sellers

* Korean won strengthens against dollar

* South Korea benchmark bond yield rises

SEOUL, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares fell on Thursday, as battery makers dropped after U.S. electric-vehicle giant Tesla flagged sharp slowdown in sales growth and demand. The won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield rose.

** The benchmark KOSPI was down 11.60 points, or 0.47%, at 2,458.09, as of 0205 GMT.

** Investors appeared to show scant response to data that signalled South Korea beat growth expectations in the fourth quarter due to an export recovery, which more than offset slowing domestic demand. Although some analysts believe Asia's fourth-largest economy will struggle to maintain its momentum.

** Tesla shares were down 6.5% in premarket trading on Wall Street as CEO Elon Musk noted that ramping up production of the new vehicle would be challenging.

** Tracking the sombre mood, battery maker LG Energy Solution slid 3.8%, while peers Samsung SDI and SK Innovation fell 1.8% and 2.1%, respectively.

** Chipmaker SK Hynix dropped 1.91%, although it posted a surprise profit in the fourth quarter on demand for high-end chips for artificial intelligence.

** Among other index heavyweights, automakers and biopharmaceutical manufacturers gained, but online platform firms fell.

** Of the total 934 traded issues, 266 shares advanced, while 608 declined.

** Foreigners were net sellers of shares worth 42.5 billion won ($31.86 million) on the main board on Thursday.

** The won was quoted at 1,334.9 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.16% higher than its previous close at 1,337.0.

** In money and debt markets, March futures on three-year treasury bonds fell 0.06 point to 104.77.

** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield rose 1.9 basis points to 3.321%, while the benchmark 10-year yield climbed 3.6 basis points to 3.436%.
