#SKHynixStudiesJapanMemoryChipVenture SK Hynix's Site Selection Criteria for a Multi Billion Dollar Factory Is Just "Good Power and Good Water" 💧⚡ August 31, Sendai. SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won confirmed SK Hynix is studying a joint venture memory chip plant in Japan, possibly in Miyagi Prefecture, investment potentially reaching tens of trillions of won. No partner named. No site finalized. No capital figure locked in. No timeline given. When asked what they are actually looking for, Chey's entire answer, "we are looking all over Japan, anywhere with good power and good water." That is either refreshingly honest or the least helpful answer a chairman has ever given a room full of journalists. 😂 Here is why this fits a pattern we have tracked for months 🧠 SK Hynix just broke ground on a $4 billion Indiana packaging plant last week. It is separately investing 54 trillion won, roughly $39 billion, expanding domestic South Korean capacity. Now Japan enters the conversation too. This is the same company we watched debut its record breaking ADR, survive a brutal KOSPI circuit breaker crash, and get squeezed by China's CXMT scaling memory production 719% in a quarter. Expansion everywhere, simultaneously, is apparently the actual strategy. 💎 The genuinely interesting relationship angle 🎯 SK Hynix already holds a significant indirect stake in Kioxia, Japan's own NAND flash maker, and CEO Kwak Noh-jung confirmed deeper cooperation talks are underway. Chey went further, calling for Korea and Japan to "form an economic bloc" given both countries' shrinking workforces. 💡 The honest reality check 🎭 This is a feasibility study, not a groundbreaking. Nothing is confirmed except that the world's memory chip supply is projected to stay tight through the end of the decade. Everyone building capacity right now is betting that stays true. 🚀 $BTC
