Blue chips gained ground across the board, with market bellwether Samsung Electronics adding 0.45 percent and leading carmaker Hyundai Motor gaining 0.81 percent.
However, Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world's biggest shipyard, fell 2.26 percent on lower-than-expected second-quarter earnings.
The local currency was changing hands at 1,130.35 won to the greenback as of 9:15 a.m., up 0.75 won from Monday's close.
