Korea Herald · South Korea · South Korea announces three AI and semiconductor megaprojects worth up to $880 billion
Korea Herald reports Lee Jae-myung hailed Samsung and SK Hynix chairmen as 'national heroes' at the announcement. Uses the W900 trillion won figure for the combined semiconductor cluster, adding the 81 trillion won Chungcheong packaging hub to the 800 trillion won southwestern fabs total. Unique for the political theatrics of the ceremony and Lee's framing of private investment as national-security infrastructure.
