The "Three Major Mega Projects for Korea's Great Leap Forward," officially announced by the government with a total investment of 1.5 quadrillion won, is a massive national strategy centered on three pillars: semiconductors, physical AI, and AI data centers (AIDC).

While the government has declared an aggressive "speed war," including shortening the final completion timeline for the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster by up to 12 years and constructing new fabs worth 800 trillion won in the Honam region, concrete plans for the additional 24.7GW of megaton-level power and water supply required to support this massive hardware infrastructure have yet to be finalized.

In today's episode of "Oh-Graph," we summarize the details of this "Mega Project," examine the background behind this decision, and explore five key graphs to identify the points that must not be overlooked.
