KoreaPlus-Lifes is an independent, English-language publication covering the
companies and technologies driving South Korea’s role in the global economy — semiconductors and
HBM memory, EV batteries, AI infrastructure, and the defense industry.
Why this site exists
Many of the Korean companies that sit at the center of global supply chains are barely covered in
English. A reader following the worldwide AI or EV story often never learns which Korean firm is
already supplying the critical part. We bridge that gap: we start from a global trend and trace it
back to the specific Korean company, technology, or number behind it.
Who writes it
Dokyung is a Seoul-based industry watcher covering Korean semiconductors, batteries, AI
infrastructure, and defense. Analysis draws on KRX filings, company disclosures, reputable financial
press, and Korean-language sources that rarely surface in English-language coverage.
How we work
Every article is grounded in public data and aims to add original analysis — an estimate, a
forecast, or a connection the sources don’t state outright. For full details on our sources and
