Ask what Korea is talking about.

Samsung SDS held a groundbreaking ceremony on Nov. 2 at the former Samsung Electronics 1 campus in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, for a large AI-dedicated data center, the first concrete step in Samsung Group's 60 trillion won ($44.6 billion) investment plan for the Yeongnam region announced in July. The facility, worth 427.3 billion won, will adopt a hybrid cooling method and target 60 MW capacity with operations starting in 2029, Yonhap reports. Korean outlets note the move accelerates AI infrastructure competition, with LG CNS also completing a 30-MW AI data center in Jakarta the same day, as Chosun Ilbo highlights both companies speeding up expansion.
