Ask what Korea is talking about.

Korea's export surge in the third quarter was driven almost entirely by large corporations, widening the gap with smaller firms. The top 10 exporters accounted for a record 60% of Q3 exports, up sharply from a year earlier, fueled by strong semiconductor demand, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. KBS World adds that top companies' exports more than doubled year-on-year, while the Korea Times notes much of the overall 70% export growth was concentrated among a handful of major firms, leaving smaller businesses behind. Korean reactions focus on the structural imbalance: bloggers and café members express concern that the boom benefits only big conglomerates, with some noting the record concentration signals a deepening divide in the economy.
