Samsung’s foray into the digital camera market would make an interesting story. They dumped *piles* of money into it, developed the then most-advanced camera image processor on the planet and introduced a camera with autofocus and auto-triggering capabilities far beyond the competition (the NX-1). Then they just pulled the plug. The scale of their efforts was amazing. They somehow paid enough money to hire away the principal architect of Canon’s DIGIC processor line, and hired scores of other Japanese camera engineers; they had entire floors of Japanese engineers in the R&D center with accompanying squads of technical interpreters to facilitate communications between the Japanese and Korean engineers. They were set to be serious competition for Canon, Nikon and Sony, but when sales failed to grow as rapidly as they expected, combined with a general downturn in the industry, they pulled the plug practically overnight. I’d love to know more of what went on behind the scenes, but it might be difficult to discover. (OTOH, I do know a guy who could tell the full story if you could convince him to do so :-)

@@davidcmpeterson Cameras were already suffering from cell phones, but the bigger impact at the end of the market where the NX1 played was more just that digital interchangeable lens cameras had gotten good enough that people didn’t need to upgrade every 1-2 years. There was also the issue of Samsung being a completely new platform, so there weren’t any enthusiasts who were already invested in the system: The only way they could pick up new users was by convincing people on other platforms to switch. (Or for entirely new users to decide to buy into them vs a more well-known brand.) So they faced an uphill battle. It wasn’t so much about them just putting their sensors into their phones, they were entirely different products. That said though, they were probably positioned to earn more from their foundry capacity by fabbing phone sensors vs camera ones.

I remember in the 50s when I was a little boy. My father was a foreman at a steel company in Warren, Ohio. Many times Japanese businessmen stayed at our home as my father showed them how to make steel. Long story short, the Japanese production of cut-rate steel doomed the US steel industry. Then Korea does the same thing to Japan in high-tech and semi-conductors. And, "the beat goes on."

Thank you for an excellent review of the growth of the Korean semiconductor industry. I enjoyed this video because I was very involved in building many Hyundai semiconductor fabs in Korea. I was also involved in the Hyundai Eugene fab. I visited the Hyundai Scottish fab site several times before Hyundai shut down the project. Many of my friends were among those who were laid off by Hyundai Semiconductor. One thing that I need to point out to you is that the location of Hyundai Semiconductor is not Incheon, but rather Icheon. Incheon is the location of the major airport which replaced Kimpo as the main Seoul airport. Incheon is located to the west of Seoul. The Hyundai Semiconductor headquarters was in Icheon which is located about 1 hour southeast of Seoul. The city names are close but not identical. Incheon is 인천 仁川 and Icheon is 이천 利川. The Koreans frequently would ask which city that I meant when I spoke of Icheon. I would clarify it as Kyoungkido Icheon which is specific for Icheon since Incheon is a specially designated "Kwanak" city.

I remember rows of young Korean female workers working in Fairchild semiconductor packaging factory in southern port city of Masan, South Korea (free trade zone) in '70s. When Samsung plunged into semicon business in early '80, everyone were very skeptical, including Korean gov't and industry. Now nearly 40 years have passed and I recently visited Pyuntaek, where Samsung is doing their business. I see sea of semiconductor factories endless to horizon, where once was endless rice paddy field. It was perfect example of turning mulberry tree forest into blue sea (Korean proverb, 桑田碧海).

Civilians of Korea helped government and companies who had enjoyed the high leverage without hedging in 97 Asian financial crisis. Someone might call this totalitarianism, other call this patriotism.

The dictators who came to power via a coup d'état in Korea are interesting. Military dictators in other countries make the country sick with corruption. However, South Korea's Park Chung-hee turned an agricultural country into a heavy-industry country, and Chun Doo-hwan bet the country's fate on the semiconductor industry. Paradoxically, this kind of gamble on the fate of the country is not possible in a democratic country. But it turned Korea, the poorest country, into an advanced country.

I'll answer no.2 instead. There was massive massacre of memory chip companies in 00s and early 10s. For "beat Samsung" Taiwanese and Japanese memory chip makers started chicken game, selling their products as low as possible to squeeze the competitors. Samsung didn't bleed a single blood as they had the leading edge of manufacturing capacity. Hynix barely survived with massive bleeding sacrificing their stock owners. Micron also survived sacrificing their workers using massive "lay-off". Angela Merkel thought memory chip business was not profitable and let Quimonda(memory branch of Infeneon) go bankruptcy. Taiwanese companies go bankruptcy as lack of cash and technology. Elpida, memory chipmaker from Japanese version of "big deal", couldn't survive because of Japanese old school bureaucracy.

Was this your first non-asianometry sponsor?! Congrats on attracting outside money. I am sure it is not enough, but hopefully it helps to justify all the hard work over time.
Great video🎉
Deertastic video, thanks for the brouhaha, Asianometry!
Yes. Japan certainly helped South Korea's semiconductor technology, but Japan get helped by U.S. technology in the 1950s and 60s, so U.S. engineers trained Japanese engineers, and that's how it started. The claim by some Japanese that Kaoru Takeuchi was a traitor and that he built the Korean semiconductor industry is too much nationalistic thinking. Japan's semiconductor industry collapsed because the U.S. sanctioned Japan's semiconductor monopoly due to failed diplomacy with the U.S, and the second reason is the Japanese government's own mistakes. They did not restructure after the bubble burst, which led to the zombification of major tech companies.
I am from Taiwan. Although Taiwan’s semiconductors are temporarily ahead, and advanced manufacturing processes(3nm) have reached the physical limit(1nm=3-5atoms), it is only a matter of time before South Korea catches up with Taiwan. Samsung Intel is the most honorable opponent
Video starts around 2:30. Can believe i listened to that.
I know, but why is the thumbnail a bbq?
Why DRAM in one syllable but SRAM in two?
Love the comment "scientifically speaking, Hynix ate a turd sandwich all the way down" 😄

Nice how you slipped into an ad, back out to the story, back in, wrapped it up and back out again neatly.
I think he just likes saying the word "chaebol"
I still cant believe a deer is schooling me about asia
