SK Hynix's Cheongju plant was found to have additional safety law violations, while approval for an Icheon-related contract was revoked. This poses compliance and workplace-safety risks that could invite regulatory penalties or disruption concerns, but the near-term impact on memory supply/demand and earnings is limited, so the stock impact is seen as neutral.
