It is understood that the company is internally discussing plans to promote Yongin Semiconductor Cluster and Gwangju Investment in parallel. Since the Yongin project is a long-term investment and construction project, the company is formulating an overall plan to promote an investment plan parallel to the concentrated investment in Yongin while taking into account the actual situation of Gwangju. It is reported that discussions are currently underway on whether to allocate some of the equipment originally planned to be put into the new Yongin factory to Gwangju, or to order additional new equipment for Gwangju, which will depend on the situation. In terms of progress, it is expected that the Gwangju Military Airport land will be prepared and basic construction will begin in 2027, with the goal of completing the first wafer fab in 2029. Investment in the new Yongin factory is also progressing as planned. According to industry sources, SK Hynix aims to open the first phase of the first factory's clean room in February 2027 and the second phase in August of the same year. (dealsite)
