Although the uncertainty of the business environment has increased recently, we are confident in the long-term growth potential of the memory industry,” said Kevin (Jongwon) Noh, president & chief marketing officer (CMO) at SK hynix. “We will focus on increasing fundamental business competitiveness while flexibly adapting to changes in the business environment.
