On the 7th, Icheon City announced that Mayor Kim met with Kim Dong-seop, president of SK Hynix, on the 6th to discuss mutual growth plans.

Earlier, SK Hynix requested the city to strengthen crackdowns on illegal parking of vehicles and motorcycles around the headquarters, address road flooding during rainy days on the way to work, create public parking lots, and expedite the opening of Bubal Hi-Pass IC.

The mayor and President Kim also had in-depth discussions on cooperation with SK Hynix regarding the semiconductor-specialized streetscape improvement project, signboard improvement project, and underground wiring project that the city is promoting, the city added.

The semiconductor-specialized streetscape improvement project aims to improve public facilities around SK Hynix by developing semiconductor-specialized designs. The signboard improvement project, a Ministry of the Interior and Safety public contest project, had its application submitted last August, and if selected, the city plans to conduct signboard maintenance as a pilot project on one building in front of SK Hynix next year.

Mayor Kim said, “More than 20,000 employees at SK Hynix’s Icheon headquarters are all citizens of Icheon, and we will actively support them to ensure no inconveniences and strive to resolve any difficulties. Through win-win cooperation, we will work together to grow into a core city of the global semiconductor industry.”
