South Korea’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lee Hyung-il told a parliamentary budget committee that no major disruption to AI data-center regulation has emerged after the U.S. midterm elections, though the situation still needs monitoring. He was responding to concerns that political pressure could affect the first U.S. investment project, a gas-fired power plant. A senior science ministry official said that if U.S. data-center investment stalls, hyperscale operators could shift to South Korea, calling the U.S. shift a potential opportunity and noting the government is watching spillover effects on related industries. Lee also said Nvidia’s agreed GPU supply will proceed smoothly despite recent controversy involving CEO Jensen Huang. Watch for further U.S. policy signals and whether hyperscale operators redirect capacity toward Korea.
