[South Korean Deputy Prime Minister: AI Data Center Regulation Still Needs Observation After US Midterm Elections] According to Yonhap News Agency, on November 9th, South Korean Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economy Lee Hyung-il stated at a plenary meeting of the National Assembly's Special Committee on Budget and Accounts that while the Democratic Party's victory in the US midterm elections has raised concerns about stricter regulations for AI data centers, "there are currently no special circumstances, and we need to observe for a while longer." He made this statement in response to a question from an opposition lawmaker regarding whether the first US investment project—a gas-fired power plant—would be affected by political pressure. The First Vice Minister of Science and ICT stated that if US data center investment is hindered, hyperscale data center operators may turn to South Korea. "Changes in the US could be an opportunity for us," he said, adding that the government is closely monitoring the situation and its impact on data center-related industries and the reactions of US industry. Regarding whether the recent controversy surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang would affect the already agreed-upon GPU supply, Lee Hyung-il replied, "It will proceed smoothly, and there will be no problems."
