By country, exports to China rose 7.3 percent on-year earlier despite Beijing's retaliatory moves against Seoul's plan to deploy a US missile defense system on its soil. Exports to the United States also shot up 14.2 percent over the cited period.
Meanwhile, imports advanced 11.2 percent on-year to $25.5 billion during the same period, with a trade shortfall of $400 million.
Exports of Asia's fourth-largest economy have been on a roll since November last year on the back of recovering world trade and rising oil prices. (Yonhap)
