The total value of retail sales in South Korea was down a seasonally adjusted 0.9 percent on month in October, Statistics Korea said on Monday.
That missed expectations for a decline of 0.5 percent following the 1.7 percent increase in September.
On a yearly basis, retail sales eased 0.2 percent - again shy of forecasts for a gain of 1 percent following the 4.4 percent increase in the previous month.
