Ask what Korea is talking about.

Samsung Electronics reported a record third-quarter operating profit of 107.44 trillion won ($80.4 billion), up 783.1% from a year earlier, driven by surging AI chip demand, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. This marks the first time a global tech company has surpassed 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit, as Business Korea notes. The company also announced a 30 trillion won ($22.5 billion) dividend payout, increasing its dividend per share more than 12-fold to address its sluggish share price, the Korea Times reports.
