  "summary": "President Lee Jae Myung has identified seven future industries as potential growth engines and strategic assets for Korea's economy in the era of artificial intelligence. These sectors, which include small modular reactors, nuclear fusion, renewable energy, quantum technology, aerospace, advanced biology, and supply chains for advanced materials and components, were designated during a meeting aimed at exploring ways to nurture them as key drivers of the country's future growth. This move comes in addition to the semiconductor industry, which has already shown record-high revenues due to soaring demand for semiconductors in AI applications. By focusing on these new sectors, Korea aims to sustain the semiconductor boom and bolster national security.",
