SEOUL, May 14 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares rose on Friday, but logged the biggest weekly drop in almost three months, as investors began shrugging off inflation worries. The Korean won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield rose.

** The benchmark KOSPI rose 31.21 points, or 1.00%, to 3,153.32 as of 06:32 GMT. For the week, the index declined 1.37%, the biggest weekly loss since February-end.

** Volatility from higher-than-expected U.S. inflation figures seems to be easing, and investors are focusing on the April minutes from Federal Open Market Committee meetings, said Lee Kyoung-min, an analyst at Daishin Securities.

** Worries arose from the annual U.S. consumer prices which unexpectedly rose the most in over a decade, prompting markets to wager on earlier policy tightening and sending stock markets tumbling.
