SEOUL, July 3 (Reuters) - Seoul shares opened lower on Friday after Wall Street fell in response to bleak U.S. job data, and North Korea's firing of short-range missiles further weighed on investor sentiment.

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) was down 1.55 percent at 1,389.56 points as of 0003 GMT.
