SEOUL, Dec 27 (Reuters) - South Korean stocks fell 0.3 percent on Thursday as higher oil prices pressured fuel cost-sensitive firms such as Korean Air (003490.KS), though trading was limited in the end-year holiday period.

The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index was down 0.28 percent at 1,901.42 points as of 0003 GMT, with Korean Air shedding 0.95 percent to 72,600 won.
