The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (Kospi) rose 20.69 points, or 0.65 percent, to 3,192.35 points in the first 15 minutes of trading.

Top automaker Hyundai Motor gained 0.67 percent, and leading chemical firm LG Chem climbed 1.39 percent.
Pharmaceutical giant Samsung Biologics lost 1.8 percent, and Celltrion traded flat.
