President Lee Jae Myung held a dinner meeting with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won on Thursday, according to sources. The purpose of their conversation is believed to have centered on South Korea's three major projects focusing on semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI). During their meeting, Lee and Chey likely discussed various elements related to the mega projects initiative, potentially including SK hynix Inc.'s investment in the southwestern region.
The talks emerged as speculation suggests the United States is requesting South Korean involvement in its semiconductor industry as part of Seoul's investment commitment to the nation. Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan had stated earlier that no such discussions had taken place with Washington. Additionally, Lee and Chey convened earlier this month at an AI summit in San Francisco.
However, the presidential office refrained from commenting on Thursday's meeting, citing the inability to confirm details of undisclosed schedules.
