SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won will visit the Gwangju Military Airport, the planned site for the Honam semiconductor cluster, to assess the project's progress and discuss infrastructure and investment plans.
According to the Gwangju Integrated Special City on October 8, Chairman Chey and SK Hynix executives are scheduled to visit the site of the planned relocation of an ammunition depot within the Gwangju Military Airport on October 9. This location is set to host SK Hynix's semiconductor production facility (fab).
While SK Hynix executives have previously inspected the site, this will be Chairman Chey's first visit. This visit is particularly significant as it marks the first on-site inspection since the government announced the investment plans for the Gwangju semiconductor mega-project involving Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in June.
Former Gwangju Mayor Min Hyung-bae is also expected to attend the site visit to discuss the relocation of the military airport, securing infrastructure such as power and water, and permitting issues. It is reported that Chairman Chey will outline SK Group's investment plans and commitment during this meeting.
