00:02Here's the number that matters most this morning.
00:081400 trillion won.
00:10That's the scale of the new AI alliance Korea just locked in at the heart of America's tech industry.
00:18SK, Samsung, Broadcom, NVIDIA, and OpenAI all joined one framework,
00:23and NVIDIA's Jensen Hwang called Korea an irreplaceable global core nation for AI.
00:31This is the story shaping everything else in Korea's economy today.
00:35It's Monday, July 27th.
00:38Let's get into one of Korea's top economic stories today.
00:41Korea's president traveled to San Francisco to meet with major U.S. technology firms.
00:46The visit brought SK, Samsung, and Broadcom together with NVIDIA and OpenAI to expand semiconductor and AI infrastructure cooperation.
00:57NVIDIA CEO Jensen Hwang used the visit to frame Korea's position at the center of the global AI supply chain.
01:05Here's what the numbers show.
01:06Korea's new AI and semiconductor agreements total 1,400 trillion won, roughly $1 trillion, unveiled during the San Francisco summit.
01:18SK and NVIDIA alone signed cooperation worth 750 billion won, about $540 million, centered on advanced chip supply.
01:28Five companies, SK, Samsung, Broadcom, NVIDIA, and OpenAI, joined the framework announced at the summit.
01:38So what does this mean for global readers watching Korea's economy?
01:42Earlier, we said Jensen Hwang called Korea an irreplaceable global core nation.
01:48That framing signals Washington and Silicon Valley now treat Korean chip makers as structural partners, not just suppliers.
01:56For Korea, it locks in demand for its chip industry well beyond this year, even as investors watch whether the
02:041,400 trillion won figure converts into signed, delivered contracts.
02:10The test now is execution.
02:12How much of this framework becomes actual chip orders and joint facilities in the next two quarters?
02:19That's today's AI Prism, Front Page Daily.
