SEOUL, July 2 (Reuters) - Seoul shares opened slightly lower on Wednesday after four consecutive losing sessions that dragged the index down 3 percent, with oil's gain overnight weighing on energy price-sensitive issues such as Korean Air Line (003490.KS).

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index was down 0.14 percent to 1,664.11 points as of 0002 GMT.
