Korea's industrial giants all moved to scale up in one day — across EVs, memory chips, warships, and fuel.
Hyundai's Ioniq 9 sold 7,329 units at home in the first half, more than double a year earlier, ahead of the Genesis GV90 launch in September at an estimated 130 to 200 million won (about $94,000 to $145,000). Samsung Electronics is recruiting experienced HBM engineers across six job functions through July 27 as its HBM4 race with SK hynix and Micron intensifies. SK Chairman Chey Tae-won said the group will expand its Indiana plant and build AI data centers in the US, while HD Hyundai deepened its UK naval shipbuilding alliance during Princess Anne's visit to Ulsan. Russia's diesel export ban is also lifting Korea's four refiners, which hold the world's fifth-largest refining capacity.
