이 대통령, 재계총수와 연쇄회동…3대 메가·대미통상 현안 조율할 듯
President Yoon will meet with Samsung Electronics Chairman, Jee Kang, on the 26th. This comes after his recent meeting with SK Group Chairman, Tai Won, last month. President Yoon is expected to discuss a proposal for three mega projects, including investments, with these major group leaders. The discussion may cover investment plans, labor policies, and the concerns of businesses.
President Yoon is also expected to meet with Hyundai Motor Group Chairman, Jae Seon, soon. The goal is to boost the speed of investment in semiconductors, physical artificial intelligence, and AI data centers, as well as strengthen industrial competitiveness. This comes after President Yoon's recent visit to the 'AI Summit' in San Francisco last month, where he met with Jee Kang, Tai Won, and other domestic and foreign companies.
The main agenda for the meeting is the possibility of Samsung Electronics making a domestic investment. The government has announced a plan to invest in the Gyeongnam semiconductor cluster, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hi-Nicks each investing around 800 trillion won. Discussions are ongoing about potentially increasing the number of investments to as many as 9.
The investment plan is just one of the topics that will be discussed. Other issues that may be on the table include labor policies and business grievances. The U.S. investment pressure is also a key factor, as both Samsung Electronics and Hi-Nicks need to coordinate their domestic and international investment plans and timelines.
President Yoon's meeting with Jee Kang should not be considered as related to U.S. trade negotiations, according to industry sources. After the meeting, President Yoon is expected to meet with Hyundai Motor Group Chairman, Jae Seon, to discuss Hyundai's new investment in North Jeolla.

- The guidance given to a junior high school third-year student that led to the student's death was deemed "illegal" and the city of Kagoshima was ordered to pay compensation. A lawsuit was filed by the bereaved family against the city, claiming that the guidance given by a teacher at a junior high school in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, in March 2018, led to the student's death. The plaintiff claimed that the guidance was given in a way that it was excessively strict and continued over a long period, and that the school failed to provide adequate support. The Fukuoka District Court on Wednesday ruled that the guidance was illegal and ordered the city to pay 66 million yen in compensation to the family. However, the court rejected the family's claim that the school could have predicted the student's suicide. The plaintiff and defendant are expected to discuss the details of the ruling. asahi.com
