Ask what Korea is talking about.

Korean media are leading with Samsung Electronics' record third-quarter results, driven by the AI memory chip boom. Yonhap reports a record operating profit, and Business Korea says Samsung became the first tech firm to top 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit, with the Korea Times putting the figure at 107.44 trillion won ($80.4 billion). At the same time, the Korea Times reports Samsung will pay out 30 trillion won in Q3 dividends, a more than 12-fold jump per share, but notes investors remain disappointed over the sluggish share price. Korean reaction, per the Korea Times, is that the dividend hike is an attempt to address the mismatch between earnings and the stock's performance, yet investors are still unhappy. Business Korea also covers Samsung's moves to buy a TCL CSOT stake for about 1.3 trillion won and invest 666.2 billion won in a Samsung Biologics rights offering, while the Korea Times reports a safety pact with Korea Gas Safety Corp. for chip facilities.
