SEOUL, April 2 - South Korea's foreign exchange authorities are estimated to have bought around $1 billion in intervention aimed at stemming the won's <KRW=> strength on Friday, traders said.
 
The won wiped out most of its early gains on the reported intervention after earlier hitting its strongest level in two and a half months against the dollar. (Reporting by Lee Soo-jung, Writing by Cheon Jong-woo; Editing by Yoo Choonsik)
