SGSouth Korean billionaire Chey Tae-won's strategic investments in SK Hynix have led to significant success, particularly in the development of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips crucial for AI technologies. Acquired by SK Group in 2012, Hynix was initially seen as a risky venture due to its cyclical nature and financial losses. However, under Chey's leadership and the guidance of CEO Park Sung-wook, Hynix became a major supplier of HBM chips, essential for Nvidia's AI accelerators. This growth has positioned SK Hynix as a global leader in the field. Despite this success, concerns remain about the sustainability of current demand and potential oversupply in the memory industry. Both SK Hynix and Samsung have pledged substantial investments in new chip manufacturing facilities, raising questions about future market dynamics.
