The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose 30.08 points, or 0.97 percent, to 3,117.48 points in the first 15 minutes of trading.

Top automaker Hyundai Motor jumped 3.65 percent, and internet portal operator Naver edged up 0.26 percent. Leading chemical firm LG Chem gained 0.61 percent.
