Samsung Strike Watch: Reuters reports Samsung’s looming 18-day walkout hinges on a fight over who gets the biggest share of the AI boom—memory-chip workers want far higher bonuses than logic-chip staff, deepening divisions and rattling investors. Markets Mood Swing: The KOSPI briefly topped 8,000 intraday before tumbling below 7,500 as foreign selling accelerated, showing how fast momentum can flip. AI Dividend Debate: Nobel economist Peter Howitt calls Korea’s proposed “AI national dividend” premature, warning the technology’s future is still uncertain. Tokenized Securities Roadmap: The FSC is set to publish detailed tokenized securities rules in July, with blockchain-ledger assets formally brought under oversight in 2027. Hormuz Pressure: Seoul is weighing cautious support for securing Strait of Hormuz shipping as debris from a strike on a Korean vessel heads for analysis, while the U.S. expands blockade enforcement with destroyer-based helicopters.
