According to Korean media reports, the Korea Institute of Industrial Economics and Trade (KIET) released a report this month, analysing that the global semiconductor supply chain may be substantially restructured around 2025, suggesting that South Korea should be more actively integrated into the industrial camp led by the United States.

The institute analyzed that semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in the United States, Europe and Japan will steadily increase, and local manufacturing will also decentralize the global supply chain. It is necessary for Korean companies to increase their global presence to maintain their industrial competitiveness.

Previously, the United States has proposed the "Chip 4" initiative to invite South Korea to join, and South Korean media also expects that US President Biden, who will visit this month, will visit the Samsung Electronics factory for the first time.
