Lee, Chey Pledge W895tn for Honam but Reject W25tn Prepaid Power Bill

Korean political and business leaders pledged W895tn investment in the Honam region, but Samsung and SK Hynix rejected KEPCO's proposed W25tn prepaid power bill. This may heighten power supply uncertainty and pose a potential cost risk for chipmaking, a short-term negative, though the long-term investment pledge could bring growth opportunities.
