AI demand boosted Korea's semiconductor exports and profits for Samsung and SK hynix; shipments to China and the US rose. Yet policy risks from U.S. tariffs loom despite a record 2025 level. Abstract: The article reports that South Korea's semiconductor exports surged in early April, driven by AI-related demand that increased memory-chip shipments and profits for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. Exports rose to US$18.3 billion in April 1–20, with total exports up 49.4% to US$50.4 billion and a US$10.4 billion trade surplus. China and the United States were primary growth markets, and 2025 semiconductor exports reached a record US$173.4 billion, up over 20% year over year. However, policy uncertainties persist: a 25% U.S. tariff on certain advanced computing chips could affect sentiment, memory-chip exports being excluded, and tensions in the Middle East and broader tariff policies could weigh on the outlook.

ByteDance's net profit fell over 70% in 2025, primarily due to changes in stock costs rather than operational issues. Despite this, revenue growth was noted, especially from international markets and TikTokShop's expansion, although competition and regulatory challenges loom.
