South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has pledged the government's full backing for the massive semiconductor investment plans recently unveiled by Samsung Electronics and SK Group.
The president reaffirmed this commitment on Tuesday, signaling a unified national effort to support the industry's expansion despite the scale and complexity of the projects.
The endorsement comes shortly after Samsung and SK Group announced their mega-investment strategies, which are central to an 800 trillion won cluster project in the country's southwest.

By explicitly tying state support to these private-sector initiatives, the administration aims to mitigate execution risks and accelerate the development of the region as a global semiconductor hub.
This development follows earlier indications from President Lee that a comprehensive package of large-scale investments would be announced to fortify South Korea's semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence capabilities.
The government's active role is intended to strengthen the nation's competitive position in the global chip market, particularly in advanced memory and logic manufacturing.
