ATM Forward Delta NOT EQUAL to 0.5???

Has anyone had this problem with using the SABR model?? Problem persists even when I set Beta=1 (flat backbone)Beta=1 implies the ATM vol remains constant as the forward moves. I am calculating the delta by finite difference. So what is the problem?thank you

Anyone know of a KOSPI Option Model that fits the market?

I have been asked to find a model for traders to use for pricing and hedging exchange traded options on the KOSPI. So far I have tried the SABR and Variance Gamma models but to no avail. The fit is very poor. Does anyone know of a model that fits the market well?regards
