South Korean President Lee Jae Myung announced an ambitious ten-year investment plan totaling at least $880 billion on June 30. The plan focuses on three interconnected "mega projects": semiconductors, artificial intelligence data centers, and physical robotics. Samsung and SK Hynix have committed to investing approximately $518 billion to construct four new memory chip fabrication plants in the Gwangju and Jeolla regions.
