Ask what Korea is talking about.

SK hynix reported a record third-quarter operating profit of 83.33 trillion won ($62.8 billion) and revenue of 104.6 trillion won ($75.25 billion), the first time quarterly revenue surpassed 100 trillion won, on AI-driven semiconductor demand (Korea Times, Business Korea, Yonhap). The company also announced an additional 60 trillion won in shareholder returns, bringing its total plan to 100 trillion won ($75 billion) this year, to address the gap between its share price and earnings (KBS World, Korea Times, Yonhap). Korean media highlight the sixth consecutive quarter of record earnings and an operating margin of 80%, with Dong-A Ilbo noting that SK hynix has sold out three years of DRAM and HBM supply, countering concerns about a semiconductor peak.
