The political crisis in South Korea may disrupt the country's semiconductor supply chain, impacting the chip market.
South Korea is a major player in the DRAM and NAND flash memory market, with companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix holding a significant share.
The country accounts for 17.7% of the global semiconductor market, but its semiconductor exports heavily rely on China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
If the political challenges escalate further, it could disrupt operations and supply chains, affecting the production and export of semiconductors and memory chips.
