— Генеральный директор, бывший главный стратег
Park Se-ik reviews major semiconductor news including Samsung's Q2 earnings, SK hynix's Nasdaq ADR listing, the global memory capacity expansion race, and the critical role of LNG power generation for Korea's semiconductor clusters. He highlights both near-term catalysts and medium-term oversupply risks, advising careful planning.
- Samsung's Q2 earnings are expected to be record high, but the good news may already be priced in.
- SK hynix ADR listing could attract passive funds but also raises cycle peak concerns.
- LNG power generation is making a comeback because semiconductor mega-fabs and AI data centers need stable, immediate power that renewables and long-lead nuclear cannot provide.
- Global memory makers are aggressively adding capacity, with the bulk of new supply hitting around 2028-2029, posing a future oversupply threat.
- AI advancement is driving NAND flash demand, intensifying competition among Samsung, SK hynix, Micron, Kioxia and YMTC.
- Trump's Coupang stock trading and crypto ventures raise conflict-of-interest issues, but host views his position as negligible.

LNG power crucial for semiconductor fabs
Korea's large-scale semiconductor cluster plans and AI data center builds require stable, uninterrupted power. Renewables alone are insufficient and nuclear takes too long to build, leaving LNG as the only immediate, reliable source to stabilize the grid and supply the massive electricity demand. This structural need will force LNG power generation to play an expanding role in Korea, mirroring a global trend where the US, Germany, Japan and Vietnam are ramping up gas generation for similar reasons.
Watch Korean memory oversupply risk
A massive global memory capacity expansion race is underway with Samsung, SK hynix, Micron, and Chinese players all building new fabs. Most of this new supply will hit the market concentrated around 2028–2029, creating a significant risk of oversupply and a subsequent sharp price correction. The market may start pricing in this risk as early as next year, so investors should plan carefully and be cautious about exposure to Korean memory leaders.
