South Korea's semiconductor industry faces a strategic turning point. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both reported record HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) sales in Q2 2026, driven by AI GPU demand. Market share: Samsung HBM3E (47%), SK Hynix HBM3E (43%), Micron (10%). Key developments: (1) Samsung acquired AI chip design startup for $2B to develop in-house AI accelerators (2) SK Hynix partnered with TSMC for advanced packaging (3) Korean government announced $20B 'K-Chips' support package for fabs in Yongin and Pyeongtaek. Risks: (1) China's memory self-sufficiency (YMTC expanding HBM-like production) (2) US CHIPS Act requiring sharing of excess profits (3) Japan-Renesas+TSMC forming JV for advanced packaging. Korea's advantage: HBM manufacturing know-how and speed of execution. Risk: dependence on memory (80% of semiconductor exports), underinvestment in logic and design.
