"Recklessly Using the Semiconductor Industry Like a Worn-Out Sword"

Donghyuk Jang, leader of the People Power Party, commented on June 25 regarding the government's move to create a semiconductor cluster in the Honam region, saying, "It looks like they are ready to entrust everything to SamjeonNix until the Democratic Party’s national convention." He added, "They're basically saying, 'We'll give you semiconductors, so please ensure that Chung Cheongrae (the former Democratic Party leader running in the convention) loses.'

On his social media account that day, Jang stated, "If it weren't for SamjeonNix, what would Jaemyung Lee have relied on?" He continued, "Stock prices, exports, and growth rates are all being propped up solely by SamjeonNix."


Jang further explained, "The president is directly summoning the chairmen of SamjeonNix and pressuring them to build a semiconductor cluster in the Honam region," and continued, "It seems likely that a large-scale project announcement event will be held soon."


Jang claimed that these moves are intended to influence the Democratic Party’s national convention. He remarked, "At this point, I almost feel sorry for Chung Cheongrae." He also said, "After enduring tough times and finally seeing some light from semiconductors, it’s really unfortunate that SamjeonNix is having everything taken away from them."



Jang criticized the government, saying, "This administration is wielding the semiconductor industry, which is critical to the future of the Korean economy, like Zhao Yun’s old sword, recklessly using it anywhere." He added, "If Chung Cheongrae still becomes party leader after all this, will the Honam semiconductor cluster be canceled?"
