Korean Party Hosts Forum on Youth Homeownership Amid Real Estate Concerns On September 2, the People Power Party held a policy forum focused on youth homeownership, addressing concerns about the government's perceived weaknesses in youth and real estate policies.The party's Policy Committee and External Cooperation Committee convened at the National Assembly to discuss the topic, "Is Homeownership Possible for Korean Youth?" They explored ways to improve housing policies and real estate taxation for young people.Jang Dong-hyuk, the party's representative, criticized the current administration, stating, "In response to the question of whether homeownership is possible for Korean youth, the Lee Jae-myung government has essentially said, 'Don't even dream about it.' It has become increasingly difficult to secure even a lease, let alone purchase a home, with rental prices soaring beyond what salaries can cover."He emphasized, "We will create a Korea where young people can save diligently and achieve homeownership. We will carefully listen to the voices of youth and make them the foundation of our party's policies."Shin Dong-wook, a lawmaker who moderated the forum, pledged, "The People Power Party will definitely address the issue of housing stability for young people. Once we become the majority party and take power, we will resolve this issue." Co-moderator Kim Jang-gyeom added, "It is the political realm's duty to provide hope to youth that they can move to better homes than today."The People Power Party's decision to hold a forum on youth and real estate comes amid assessments that these areas represent vulnerabilities for the government and ruling party. A recent survey conducted by Realmeter, commissioned by Energy Economy News, found that only 38.9% of respondents approved of President Lee Jae-myung's performance, a drop of 1.3 percentage points from the previous week.Political analysts cite deteriorating public sentiment on real estate as a significant factor in the declining approval ratings. The same survey indicated that over 60% of the 2030 age group expressed dissatisfaction, highlighting rising discontent among young voters.In response, Jang has taken the lead as chair of the Special Committee on Real Estate Policy, directing the party's real estate initiatives. The committee recently visited a site in Goyang City, where applicants for the public housing project "New Home" were informed they would not receive the loan support they were promised during the pre-application process.Additionally, the party's policy committee plans to recruit members for a youth policy planning group starting September 3, continuing efforts to incorporate young people's voices into party policies.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:56:00
SK Hynix Focuses on Memory Solutions Amid AI Evolution As artificial intelligence (AI) evolves from chatbots to reasoning and agent stages, the bottleneck in AI systems is shifting from processing units to memory. SK Hynix has identified that the core challenges of AI systems, including performance, energy efficiency, and resource utilization, are increasingly centered on memory. The company argues that 'memory-centric computing,' which reduces the distance between memory and processing units while allowing multiple accelerators to share memory, is the next frontier for AI expansion.Joo Young-pyo, Vice President of System Architecture at SK Hynix, stated at the 18th Good Growth, Good Jobs Global Forum (2026 GGGF) held in Seoul on September 2, "It seems that memory is the issue these days. Performance, energy efficiency, and resource optimization challenges are all centered around memory." He emphasized, "The bottleneck is where computing is focused, and currently, that bottleneck is memory."The demand for memory is being driven by changes in AI services. While traditional chatbots only needed to respond at a conversational pace, agent-based AI systems communicate with each other, generating and executing code, correcting errors, and reworking tasks. Joo explained, "When conversing with humans, around 20 tokens per second are sufficient, but when machines communicate, they need to respond at thousands of tokens per second," indicating a significant increase in system performance requirements.In response, SK Hynix is innovating memory solutions along three axes: performance, energy efficiency, and resource utilization. Key factors include how much memory bandwidth can be increased within a given area and how to reduce the energy required to transfer a single bit of data to processing units like GPUs, NPUs, and TPUs. Enhancing system utilization to ensure expensive GPUs and memory operate continuously is also a priority.High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is a prime example of this transformation. Joo noted, "While the rise of GPUs has brought attention to HBM, it is also true that the existence of memory like HBM has enabled GPUs to achieve better performance." He added that there is growing concern in the industry about whether the current combination of HBM and GPUs will be sufficient in the era of agent-based AI.One alternative is to further reduce the distance between memory and processing units. Stacking DRAM in three dimensions above or below processors can shorten data transfer distances. Processing In Memory (PIM), which performs calculations directly within or near memory, follows the same principle. Joo remarked, "It takes significantly more energy to retrieve data from memory and deliver it to processing units than to perform a calculation. As the distance increases, energy efficiency drops sharply." However, he acknowledged that 3D stacking presents technical challenges, such as heat generation and reduced storage space.Another proposed solution is CXL, which allows multiple accelerators to share memory. Previously, GPUs had to wait for one another to finish tasks before passing data, but with shared memory, data can be stored and retrieved as needed by the next processing unit. SK Hynix is researching ways to reduce waste in data copying and synchronization processes between GPUs through this approach. Joo explained that while CXL was not specifically designed for AI, its open memory interface characteristics are expanding its application in AI systems.Joo drew a line against the notion that optimizing AI algorithms will directly lead to reduced memory demand. He cited the 'Jevons Paradox,' where improved fuel efficiency in cars has led to increased overall oil consumption, stating, "As the cost of AI services decreases, more AI services will be utilized." This implies that even if individual services use less memory due to algorithm optimization, overall AI demand could still drive an increase in memory needs.Joo concluded, "In the past, the CPU was the bottleneck of the system, and improving the CPU directly enhanced system performance. Now, the bottleneck is memory." He emphasized, "By enhancing memory performance and energy efficiency, AI systems can significantly improve."* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:52:20
Tugboat Capsizes Off Busan, Leaving 1 Dead and 6 Missing Off the coast of Oryukdo in Busan, a tugboat capsized while attempting to assist a cargo ship, resulting in the death of one crew member and leaving six others missing. The Coast Guard and Navy have deployed ships and aircraft for the search, while the city of Busan has activated its emergency response center.According to the Busan Coast Guard, the 286-ton tugboat, identified as A-ho, capsized around 1:29 p.m. approximately 9 kilometers east of Oryukdo. There were eight crew members on board, including six South Koreans and two Indonesians. One Indonesian man in his 50s was rescued by a passing cargo ship, B-ho, about 20 minutes after the incident.The Coast Guard also found a South Korean man in his 50s unconscious inside the tugboat and transported him to Minrak Port. However, despite being rushed to the hospital by emergency services, he later died. The remaining six crew members are still unaccounted for.According to Yonhap News, A-ho departed from the Busan port at 10:15 a.m. to assist the 66,332-ton Liberian-flagged container ship B-ho, which reported the capsizing incident to the Busan Vessel Traffic Service (VTS). The tugboat is believed to have capsized while conducting the towing operation. It completely sank around 3:27 p.m., approximately two hours after the accident, in waters about 87 meters deep. The area is experiencing waves of 1 to 1.5 meters and northwesterly winds of 4 to 6 meters per second, complicating the search efforts.The Busan Coast Guard has raised its regional response level to three and deployed 13 rescue boats, along with aircraft and the Central Maritime Special Rescue Team. The Navy is also assisting with the search, deploying the Gwangyang and fast patrol boats, destroyers, rescue ships, minesweepers, and two aircraft.Both the government and local authorities are fully committed to the rescue efforts. President Lee Jae-myung has instructed that all available resources be mobilized for rescue operations. Minister of the Interior and Safety Yoon Ho-jung has also directed relevant agencies to immediately deploy all equipment and personnel for a swift rescue.The city of Busan held an emergency meeting and activated its accident response center. According to Yonhap News, the city has dispatched on-site liaison officers to the Oryukdo coast and assigned dedicated officials to assist the families of the missing. Integrated support centers have been established in Nam-gu and Haeundae-gu, while Dong-gu, where the shipping company is located, has set up a local disaster safety headquarters.Busan plans to provide tailored psychological counseling and support programs for victims and their families, as well as emergency interpretation services for foreign victims. The Coast Guard and other agencies will continue searching for the six missing crew members while investigating the exact cause and circumstances of the accident.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:52:20
2026 GGGF: Kwak Young-gil Emphasizes Human-Centered AI for South Korea's Future Kwak Young-gil, chairman of Ajou News Corporation, emphasized the need to transition to an 'artificial intelligence (AI) civilization' that prioritizes human dignity and spiritual values over mere technological competition.During his opening remarks at the 18th Good Growth, Good Jobs Global Forum (2026 GGGF) held at The Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, on September 2, Kwak stated, "The advent of the AI era presents both a crisis and a rare opportunity for South Korea. If the country's strong manufacturing sector combines with AI, we can emerge as a global leader in physical AI production and a key hub in this field."The forum was organized to discuss how South Korea can position itself as a global AI ecosystem hub, addressing issues from industrial innovation to the civilizational challenges that follow technological advancements.Kwak asserted, "As AI becomes more powerful, the focus must return to humanity. We need to move beyond human-centered AI (HAI) to embrace Spirituality-centered AI (SAI), which incorporates conscience, responsibility, and reverence for life."He further stressed that if South Korea consolidates its national capabilities, it can not only become a strong AI nation but also lead the direction of AI civilization.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:52:20
Korea's Financial Investment Association Discusses Shortening Settlement Cycle to T+1 Market participants in South Korea's securities market have emphasized the need for thorough preparation and verification before implementing a reduction in the settlement cycle from the current T+2 (two business days after the transaction) to T+1.On September 2, the Financial Investment Association held a 'Deep Discussion on Settlement Cycle Reduction' to address the necessity of shortening the settlement cycle, key issues, and the response tasks for market participants.During the discussion, concerns were raised about potential technical failures, settlement failures, and issues related to foreign investors' currency exchange and funding if the settlement cycle is reduced by one day.Choi Hoon, Deputy Director of the Korea Exchange, stated, "While early implementation of the settlement cycle reduction is important, ensuring a stable transition is also crucial. Not only securities firms and exchanges but also infrastructure institutions such as the Korea Securities Depository, the Bank of Korea, and Korea Securities Finance, as well as asset management companies, pension funds, and foreign investors' currency exchange processes, must all adapt together. This requires sufficient time for the system to be securely established."Members of the securities industry echoed the need for ample preparation time, noting that settlement failures could undermine overall market trust.Park Sang-hyun, Deputy General Manager of NH Investment & Securities, remarked, "Clearing and settlement is an issue that involves all member securities firms. If one or two companies experience settlement failures, it will inevitably damage the trust of the entire market." He added, "We need to allow enough time for all market participants to adapt and be patient."Concerns were also raised regarding foreign investors, who reportedly worry more about the risk of settlement failures than the benefits of transitioning to T+1.Kim Mi-kang, a director at SC Bank, noted, "Among foreign investors, the risk of settlement failure is more pronounced than the benefits of shortening the settlement cycle to T+1." She explained, "In Korea, multiple regulatory relaxations and institutional changes are being implemented simultaneously to promote foreign investment. In this context, if the settlement cycle is shortened in a short period, it could place a burden on the stable settlement infrastructure."Baek Dae-man, a team leader at the Financial Investment Association, emphasized the need to consider the geographical and temporal characteristics of the Korean market. He stated, "Located in Northeast Asia, Korea starts trading earlier than almost any other country, alongside New Zealand and Japan. Considering time differences and currency exchanges, the current T+2 environment already presents challenges in the settlement process."He added, "Foreign institutional investors are showing significant interest in the process and roadmap for shortening Korea's settlement cycle."Some participants suggested that settlement failures should not only be viewed as risks to eliminate but also as risks to be managed within the market operation process. Kang So-hyun, a researcher at the Capital Market Research Institute, pointed out, "In Korea, there have been very few cases of settlement failures, so if one occurs, it may create the perception that there is a problem with the securities firm. In the U.S., settlement failures occur in about 2-3% of all transactions."He continued, "Reducing the settlement cycle to one day will inevitably decrease the time available to adjust or correct issues during the settlement process, increasing the likelihood of temporary fund delays or operational disruptions. Rather than aiming for a 'zero' settlement failure rate, we need to shift our perspective towards managing the risks that can reasonably occur during market operations."The Financial Investment Association plans to continue discussions on the industry's response to the shortening of the settlement cycle based on the opinions raised during this forum.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:52:10
IFA 2026 Preview: AI and Robotics Take Center Stage as Samsung and LG Compete Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are set to compete for dominance in future living spaces at IFA 2026, Europe’s largest consumer electronics show. Samsung will highlight its 'AI Living' concept, which encompasses home appliances, TVs, and mobile devices, while LG will introduce 'AI Home,' designed to understand user situations and respond proactively. Over 900 Chinese companies are also participating with AI appliances and robotics, signaling a rapid shift from a traditional electronics show to a battleground for AI and robotics ecosystems.According to industry sources, IFA 2026 will take place from September 4 to 8 in Berlin, Germany. This year marks the 102nd edition of IFA, themed 'The Future Is Now.' More than 1,900 companies and organizations from 49 countries are expected to participate, with around 220,000 visitors anticipated. The exhibition scope has expanded beyond TVs and home appliances to include AI, robotics, and digital health.Samsung has changed its exhibition approach this year, opting for a separate experience space in downtown Berlin's Humboldt Carré instead of a large-scale booth at Messe Berlin, where it has participated since 1991. The theme 'Your AI Daily Companion' will showcase an integrated AI living experience that connects home appliances, TVs, mobile devices, and wearables.Samsung plans to extend AI across its product range, unveiling a 'Micro RGB' TV featuring fine RGB LEDs and an interactive AI-based 'Vision AI Companion.' In home appliances, it will showcase a Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator that recognizes ingredients and suggests usage methods, along with a Bespoke AI washing machine that reduces energy consumption by up to 70% compared to the European A-grade standard.LG will set up a large exhibition space in Hall 18 at Messe Berlin, promoting 'Innovation in Harmony with You.' The company will advance its 'AI Appliance Orchestra' concept from last year, demonstrating an AI Home that adapts appliances and services to the user's lifestyle context.The centerpiece of LG's display will be the new AI agent 'ThinQ Claw.' When users provide their schedules or situations, the AI interprets their needs and connects them with the necessary appliances and services. LG is also enhancing its European strategy by expanding its 'Fit & Max' concept from refrigerators to washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers.While Samsung and LG have different approaches, their goals align: to move beyond integrating AI into individual products to creating a platform that manages users' lives by connecting multiple devices and services. Samsung emphasizes its ecosystem that encompasses TVs, mobile devices, and home appliances, while LG focuses on combining situationally aware AI with its home appliance strengths.This year, the presence of Chinese companies is notably strong, with 932 participants, nearly half of the total exhibitors. Companies like TCL, Hisense, and Haier, along with robotics firms such as Roborock, Ecovacs, and Dreamy, will be present. Xiaomi will also make its IFA debut, showcasing an ecosystem that connects smartphones, appliances, and mobility.Robotics will be a key highlight, with around 300 companies and research institutions participating in the 'IFA Next' future technology exhibition area. A new feature, 'Robots on the Runway,' will showcase humanoid robots. This indicates that IFA's competitive landscape is expanding from appliance performance to 'lifestyle AI' that operates based on AI judgment in real-world environments.As Chinese companies extend their reach beyond price competitiveness to include AI and premium appliances and robotics, Samsung and LG are being challenged to differentiate themselves beyond product performance. Industry experts predict that this year's IFA will serve as a platform to assess how well the two companies have expanded their appliance competitiveness into the AI ecosystem in the European market. 2026-09-02 17:52:10
A2Sys CRO Yuminsoo: K-AI Must Focus on Refinement and Optimization to Compete with US and China To survive in the competitive landscape against the U.S. and China, the K-AI strategy must shift from focusing on computational power to refinement and optimization, overcoming limitations in power and memory, said Yuminsoo, Chief Research Officer of A2Sys and a professor at KAIST. Speaking at the 18th Good Growth, Good Jobs Forum (2026 GGGF) held on September 2 at The Plaza Hotel in Seoul, Yuminsoo emphasized the need for this transition. Yuminsoo, a former NVIDIA expert in computer systems and GPU architecture, recently founded the AI infrastructure startup A2Sys. He presented quantitative research findings on the systemic burdens and power crises arising from the paradigm shift from traditional chatbots to autonomous AI agents. He noted that while global tech giants like OpenAI and Meta are building massive AI data centers with capacities in the tens of gigawatts, the current infrastructure and power grid have clear sustainability limits. According to Yuminsoo's research team, the response latency of AI agents has increased by an average of over 5.2 times compared to traditional large language model (LLM) chatbots. Unlike LLMs, which provide immediate outputs upon receiving input, AI agents engage with external tools like web browsers, continuously thinking and acting until their goals are achieved. Yuminsoo explained that AI agents must retain previous conversation histories and search results in memory, quickly filling up storage space (KV cache). This leads to a breakdown of existing data center memory design assumptions, resulting in significantly slower processing speeds and exacerbated memory shortages. As AI spends more time deliberating and recalculating to improve accuracy (test-time scaling), energy consumption has surged. Yuminsoo highlighted that processing a single agent query can increase GPU power and energy consumption by as much as 136.5 to 140 times compared to traditional chatbots. The research team estimated that if AI agents were to scale to traffic levels comparable to Google Search (approximately 13.7 billion queries per day), the required power demand for data centers could reach up to 198.9 GW, nearly half of the total capacity of the U.S. power grid (approximately 476.9 GW). Yuminsoo stated, "We have reached a point where securing GPU quantities is no longer sufficient; there is a shortage of commercial sites for power supply and data center installation. The random computation approach of pouring resources without strategy has clear limitations in terms of cost efficiency and pricing." He proposed a 'refinement and optimization-focused K-AI strategy' as a solution to overcome the capital and infrastructure gaps in the U.S.-China power competition. He cautioned that simply increasing computing resources to boost performance leads to diminishing returns in accuracy relative to costs, resulting in a 'cost reduction' phenomenon. He urged that specialized systems and software optimization technologies for agentic AI workloads are South Korea's strong assets, and national efforts should focus on technological innovations that maximize infrastructure efficiency. * This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:48:20
Koglo.com Chairman Lee Geum-ryong: AI Native Generation Must Lead Growth Ladder Lee Geum-ryong, chairman of Koglo.com, stated that "all companies will be restructured around AI" and emphasized that this change presents an opportunity for the AI native generation to lead the "growth ladder" rather than a crisis.Speaking at the 18th Good Growth, Good Jobs Forum (2026 GGGF) held at The Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, on September 2, Lee remarked, "It is the mission of the current privileged class to enable the AI native generation to become the main players in the growth ladder."He explained that the shift in corporate environments due to AI adoption began in earnest following the Fourth Industrial Revolution declaration at the 2016 Davos Forum and the AlphaGo shock. He identified hyper-connectivity, super-intelligence, automation, and autonomy as key features of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, citing population decline as one of the underlying factors.Lee noted, "With the emergence of agentic AI, the introduction of AX is accelerating across all sectors in South Korea," and added that the principle of placing personnel is shifting from "right person in the right place" to "right place for the right person."He warned that interest in AI development may overshadow employment, suggesting that hiring could decrease over the next five years. He described AI agents as permanent employees without retirement, stating, "Many tasks will be handled by agentic AI, leaving only managers for initial checks and directors for overall planning."Lee assessed that as the acceleration of AI transformation continues, relying solely on existing companies to expand hiring will not resolve youth employment issues. He explained that new jobs must ultimately be created in startups and new industries as companies focus on organizational efficiency through AI.He stated, "It is impossible to ask existing large corporations or public institutions to hire more people in the AI era," emphasizing that new companies must emerge to absorb jobs.As existing companies reduce their hiring capacity, he stressed the need for new industries and businesses to create jobs, asserting, "Whether in the form of startups or new enterprises, new companies must emerge to embrace young talent and grow alongside them."Lee highlighted that the current restructuring of corporate structures around AI could present an opportunity for industrial transformation. He stated, "All companies will be restructured around AI," and noted that the new generation emerging from universities is AI native, thus companies must also be horizontally restructured around AI.He remarked, "This is a great opportunity for South Korea, which has grown centered on manufacturing for the past 60 years, to transform," adding that a generational change to a new AI generation could usher in a new era, including youth employment.Ultimately, Lee viewed the AI transition as both a crisis that reduces existing jobs and an opportunity for new companies and industries to emerge. He emphasized, "It is the role of the older generation to enable the AI native generation to grow and become the main players in the growth ladder."* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-09-02 17:48:20
Physical AI: The Reality of 17-Year-Old Film 'Surrogates' Approaches On September 2, at the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in Seoul, the first day of the 18th Good Growth, Good Jobs Global Forum (2026 GGGF) featured discussions on physical artificial intelligence (AI). The event was attended by over 300 prominent figures from politics and industry, including National Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik.The forum began with a keynote speech by Dennis Hong, a professor at UCLA and director of the RoMeLa research lab, titled 'The Realization of AI Civilization Depends on Physical AI Competitiveness.' Hong energetically introduced the physical AI technology that is already becoming a reality.Professor Hong explained, 'While traditional AI like GPT operates from data recognition to autonomy and control, physical AI functions in an end-to-end manner from sensors to actuators.' He noted that methods for training physical AI include video simulations, human demonstrations, and self-learning, but that effective solutions are still under research in the market.He introduced the home humanoid robot 'NEO' as an example of physical AI, stating, 'NEO operates by being remotely controlled to assist with household tasks.' NEO is sold in the U.S. market for $20,000, with a subscription model available at $499 per month.Attendees listened intently to the speaker, with some students capturing images and recording audio of the presentation on their smartphones.Kim, a 50-year-old attendee, remarked, 'I was particularly pleased to see the latest trends in emerging physical AI. While I have encountered robots from Chinese and foreign companies, it was fascinating to see robots being developed in actual research settings.'There was also significant interest in the impact of the AI transition on youth employment. Lee Geum-ryong, chairman of Coglo.com, presented on 'The Future of Youth Employment in the Era of AI Transition,' stating, 'As AI that replaces repetitive and mechanical tasks becomes more prevalent, youth hiring has significantly decreased. Bold support is needed to ensure that youth-centered startups can participate in new business sectors.'Kim Seong-won, a senior researcher at the Korea Economic Association, emphasized, 'The AI transition is an inevitable megatrend across industries, but as a new industrial ecosystem forms, it can create opportunities for new job creation. I hope the younger generation can leverage their AI skills to seize new opportunities as AI is integrated into traditional manufacturing.' 2026-09-02 17:48:20
