Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's exports hit a record $115.3 billion in October, up 93.7 percent from a year earlier, driven by strong semiconductor sales, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. KBS World notes October marked the second consecutive month above $110 billion, and the January-October period topped $900 billion for the first time, fueled by AI demand. The Hankyoreh says exports are near the $1 trillion milestone but flags US trade risks as a cloud on the outlook. Korean media frame this as a historic surge, though the Hankyoreh cautions that trade tensions with the US could temper the momentum.
