Last update: 3 hours ago

AI Wealth vs Wages: South Korea’s AI boom is colliding with labor reality again as Samsung’s union vote looms after a near-strike scare, with workers pushing for bigger bonus shares tied to chip profits—an early test of whether AI gains will be broadly shared or deepen inequality. Defense & Industry: Hanwha’s new KSS-III submarine is on display in Canada as Ottawa weighs a multibillion-dollar deal, while South Korea also moves to expand interceptor and drone countermeasures. Health Tech: A kimchi-derived probiotic is reported to help bind nanoplastics in the gut, boosting their removal in lab and animal work. Consumer Tech: Samsung is rolling out One UI 8.5 globally, bringing AI-powered Bixby upgrades and new customization. Trade Watch: South Korea hit a record $11.4B cosmetics export haul in 2025, led by skincare. Crypto Policy: South Korea is set to revisit its crypto tax plan after a petition topped 50,000 signatures.
