Some of the world's biggest economies contracted in the second quarter by record-breaking amounts, but South Korea's did relatively well.
Bloomberg reports that Korea's GDP in the second quarter shrank on year by only 2-point-9 percent.
By contrast, some countries in Europe shrank by double digits Spain minus 22-point-one and France minus 19 percent.
According to figures from the OECD, South Korea's economy contracted by three-point-three percent,... which is the second highest figure among 14 major economies like the U.S., China and Germany.
