South Korean newspapers on July 22 led with a range of political, economic, and security stories. President Lee's remarks dominated domestic coverage, with multiple outlets highlighting his condemnation of unearned real estate profits as a threat to fairness and national unity, as well as his stance that profit-sharing arrangements fall outside the scope of labour disputes. On the business front, SK Hynix's reported acquisition of Intel's Ohio plant and Samsung's pivot toward robotics as a future growth engine drew attention, while a leveraged ETF-driven slump on the KOSDAQ (South Korea's technology-focused stock exchange) rattled markets. Security and foreign policy also featured prominently, with reports that the United States has asked Seoul to send naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz, and an English-language daily reporting an 'unprecedented' cyberattack on the foreign ministry.
