South Korea discussing new chip investments with Samsung, SK Hynix, presidential adviser says

South Korea is currently discussing new semiconductor investments with Samsung and SK Hynix, according to a presidential adviser. Meanwhile, SK Hynix has seen its market value surpass that of Samsung. This growth is attributed to a strategic bet on a niche memory chip, which has positioned the company more favorably in the competitive landscape. Both firms remain central to the national strategy as the government seeks to bolster the domestic chip industry through targeted financial support.
