Korea's Exports Top $900B for First Time

South Korea's exports surpassed $900 billion for the first time in the January-October period, driven by strong semiconductor sales, with October exports hitting a record $115.3 billion, up 93.7% from a year earlier, according to Yonhap and KBS World. The Korea Times also reports the record monthly figure, while Hankyoreh notes the milestone but flags US trade risks as a cloud on the outlook. Korean media highlight the achievement as a step toward an annual $1 trillion in exports, though some outlets emphasize concerns about uneven recovery and potential trade tensions.
