Three Korean industries reached structural inflection points on the same day — and the numbers behind each one matter to global supply chains.
Today on AI PRISM Industry Daily: Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are closing in on site selection for an 800-trillion-won semiconductor cluster in Gwangju — roughly 571 billion U.S. dollars — the largest planned industrial investment in Korean history. HD Korea Shipbuilding closed the first half with 15.72 billion dollars in orders across 133 vessels, the strongest H1 since 2008. SK Incorporated is launching Korea's largest integrated renewable energy subsidiary with KKR, targeting 10 gigawatts of capacity by 2031. We also track Samsung SDI's accelerating battery turnaround, with Q1 operating losses down 64% year-on-year.
