Socialist rhetoric threatens South Korea’s AI boom. A senior advisor's “people's dividend” proposal to redistribute AI profits spooked investors, causing a market tumble akin to China’s “common prosperity” push. The author argues it's premature to discuss profit-sharing when chipmakers like Samsung and Hynix are flourishing, generating massive profits. Such government intervention risks undermining the stock market and narrowing the “Korea discount.” The article suggests allowing companies to thrive, emphasizing economic trickle-downs and talent retention, warning against policies leading to “common poverty.”
