SEOUL, June 1 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares rallied for a third straight session on Tuesday, as investors lapped up stellar exports data and factory activity, implying stronger growth for Asia's fourth-largest economy. Both the won and the benchmark bond yield rose.

** The benchmark KOSPI ended up 17.95 points, or 0.56%, to 3,221.87, its highest closing since May 10.

** Among the heavyweights, technology giant Samsung Electronics rose 0.12% and peer SK Hynix rose 1.18%, while battery maker LG Chem and internet giant Naver added 0.73% and 1.24%, respectively.

** South Korean exports logged their sharpest expansion in 32 years in May, marking another robust month of shipments, fuelled by stronger consumer demand globally as many economies start to reopen.

** The country's factory activity in May also extended growth into an eighth straight month, a private sector survey showed, boosted by recovery in global demand although the pace of expansion eased slightly.

** Investors now await U.S. payrolls data due later this week.

** Foreigners were net sellers of 37.4 billion won ($33.83 million) worth of shares on the main board.
