KEPCO's $18B Prepayment Plan Fails; Samsung, SK Hynix Opt Out

KEPCO's $18 billion prepayment plan has failed, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix opting not to participate. The plan aimed to secure power supply through prepayments, but the semiconductor giants withdrew due to cost or strategic considerations. This may affect SK Hynix's future power procurement costs, but the short-term stock impact is limited as the company has diversified energy strategies.
