Chip upcycle, easing oil-related pressures to boost consumption in 2027: KDI

The global semiconductor upcycle, coupled with easing pressure from higher oil prices, is expected to lead to stronger consumption next year, a state-run think tank projected Thursday. The outlook came amid assessments that this year's global chip upcycle, driven by the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, has had a limited impact on domestic consumption due to the gradual spillover of its benefits, while higher oil prices have weighed more immediately on the room for spending. "Next year, the negative impact of oil price hikes is expected to gradually weaken, while the positive impact of the chip upcycle spreads, leading to stronger consumption compared with this year," the Korea Development Institute (KDI) said in a report. The KDI said bonuses and dividends paid by major chipmakers could also provide additional momentum for domestic consumption, although geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East may pose some downside risks. Amid the potential challenges, the KDI advised the government to refrain from measures aimed at stimulating short-term spending and instead focus on improving e

FTC approves combination of Jin Air, Air Seoul, Air Busan

The proposed merger of Jin Air, Air Busan and Air Seoul has cleared its final regulatory hurdle, paving the way for the three low-cost carriers (LCCs) to officially operate as a single carrier under the Jin Air brand beginning March 17, the nation’s antitrust authority said Thursday. Under the approvals by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), the three carriers will be integrated through Jin Air's absorption of Air Busan and Air Seoul following Korean Air’s acquisition of Asiana Airlines. The approvals remove the major regulatory obstacles to the restructuring of Hanjin Group's airline business, following the planned launch of the integrated Korean Air as a full-service carrier on Dec. 17. Jin Air will assume the assets, liabilities, employees and legal status of the two other carriers. The combined airline will become Korea's largest LCC by fleet size, with about 58 aircraft in operation by the three carriers combined as of the end of 2025. It will combine the three carriers' routes, aircraft and operating infrastructure, with the a

Samsung Electronics breaks ground on new HBM packaging facility in Asan

Samsung Electronics broke ground on a new semiconductor packaging facility at its Onyang campus in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, Thursday as part of a 144 trillion-won ($108.4 billion) investment plan by the company and three affiliates to expand advanced manufacturing capacity in the region. The company held a groundbreaking ceremony at the campus, joined by President Lee Jae Myung, Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hyeong-il, South Chungcheong Province Gov. Park Soo-hyun and about 100 executives and employees from Samsung and its partner companies. The new production line, aimed at beginning operations in June 2028, a year ahead of the original schedule, will expand the campus' role beyond conventional semiconductor assembly and testing to include advanced high bandwidth memory (HBM) packaging. "Through today's groundbreaking ceremony, we pledge to take another leap forward," Lee Jae-yong said. "This site, which has traditionally focused on simply assembling and testing conventional semiconductors, will become a leading hub for advanced HBM, the heart of A

KEPCO Q3 net plunges 78% on higher fuel costs

The state-run Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) said Thursday its third-quarter net profit plunged 78 percent from a year earlier due to higher fuel costs. Net profit for the three months ended in September fell to 835.89 billion won from 3.79 trillion won in the same period last year, the company said in a press release. "Electricity sales declined, while global thermal coal prices continued to rise in the third quarter, weighing on our bottom line, among other factors," a company spokesperson said. Combined fuel costs for KEPCO's power-generating subsidiaries, including Korea South-East Power, exceeded 2.2 trillion won in the third quarter, weighing on earnings, the company said. Operating profit plunged 70.9 percent to 1.64 trillion won from 5.65 trillion won during the same period, while sales fell 2.6 percent to 26.85 trillion won from 27.57 trillion won. KEPCO said it would closely monitor volatile energy prices while maintaining an emergency management system focused on improving its financial position through cost reductions and profitability-driven operations.

KakaoBank simplifies banking for foreign residents with mobile account service

KakaoBank’s account service for foreign residents attracted 20,000 accounts in its first month, drawing customers from 124 countries, the bank said Thursday. Introduced in October, the account is available to foreign residents aged 19 and older and can be opened through the bank’s app in about five minutes. Customers can also apply for debit cards and send money overseas through the app without visiting a branch.

Korea Zinc loses court battle over curbs on Young Poong's voting rights

A court ruled Thursday that a resolution passed at Korea Zinc's annual shareholder meeting last year that restricted the voting rights of Young Poong Corp. and private equity firm MBK Partners Ltd. must be nullified. Young Poong and MBK formed an alliance under an agreement signed in September 2024 to secure management control of Korea Zinc, the world's largest refined zinc smelter. Since then, the two parties have jointly exercised their voting rights, prompting Korea Zinc Chairman Choi Yun-beom to wage a protracted battle to fend off their takeover bid. The Seoul Central District Court ordered Korea Zinc to revoke the resolution adopted at its March 2025 shareholder meeting in a lawsuit filed by the Young Poong-MBK alliance. The court said that Korea Zinc cannot restrict the voting rights of existing shareholders by invoking rules governing cross-shareholdings as a means of defending its management control. It did not provide further details. Choi's side had orchestrated a move for Sun Metals Corp. (SMC), a second-tier subsidiary of Korea Zinc, to acquire a stake greater than 10 percen

Jensen Huang's potential exit casts shadow over Korea's AI road map

Mounting uncertainties surrounding Nvidia are threatening to disrupt Korea's semiconductor industry and its broader artificial intelligence (AI) road maps, as U.S. semiconductor restrictions are likely to be tightened and the future of its beleaguered CEO Jensen Huang is unclear. Following Huang's admission of an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, U.S. lawmakers have stepped up calls for tighter restrictions on China's access to U.S.-made AI chips. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday (local time) called on Congress to pass three acts tightening export controls on advanced AI chips. “This alarming situation makes clear that Congress must now act to pass critical bipartisan legislation like the AI Overwatch Act, the MATCH Act and Chip Security Act to cut off China's access to advanced American technology before it's too late," Schumer said during a Senate floor speech. The AI Overwatch Act is aimed at allowing Congress to block advanced AI chip exports to U.S. foreign adversaries. The Chip Security Act will require AI chips subject to export controls to have a “location
