en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il stated on the 24th that, regarding Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix considering large-scale semiconductor investments in regions such as Honam and Chungcheong, it has been confirmed that part of Samsung Electronics' semiconductor production lines at the Advanced System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex in Idong-eup and Namsa-eup will not be relocated to provincial areas.
Lee Sang-il added that Samsung Electronics has clearly stated its plan to build six fabs within the national industrial complex as scheduled, and he confirmed this matter with top-level decision-makers in the company's semiconductor division. His remarks came amid recent media reports suggesting that Samsung Electronics, when investing in non-capital areas, might consider relocating some semiconductor fabs from the Yongin National Industrial Complex to provincial regions, sparking concerns among Yongin citizens and residents of southern Gyeonggi Province, including Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong.
Lee Sang-il noted that investment decisions are made by companies. He stated that he and Yongin citizens have strongly responded to previous attempts by the ruling party to destabilize and relocate some of Samsung Electronics' fabs from the Yongin National Industrial Complex to Honam, and that Samsung Electronics is aware of this, ensuring no actions will disappoint the citizens. He also emphasized that there is no reason to oppose new investments by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in other regions, and since both companies have decided on mega-investments in non-capital areas, the construction of Samsung Electronics' Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex and SK Hynix's Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex should also be accelerated.
