South Korea's exports jumped 53.3 percent on-year to US$31.1 billion in the first 20 days of May from $20 billion a year earlier due to robust demand for chips and automobiles.
Chips, which advanced 26 percent, remained the mainstay export product.
Automobile exports gained 146 percent. But it was the overseas shipments of auto parts that made the highest jump, advancing by more than three times.
