Ask what Korea is talking about.

Korea's exports surged more than 70 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, but much of the growth was concentrated among a handful of large corporations, widening the gap between major exporters and smaller businesses, the Korea Times reports. The top 10 exporters accounted for a record 60 percent of the country's total outbound shipments in Q3, driven by strong demand for semiconductors and other technology products, according to Yonhap and the Hankyoreh. The concentration of export growth among large firms highlights the widening disparity between major exporters and smaller companies, as the Korea Times notes the boom masks this structural imbalance.
