In early July, Naver announced that it would expand artificial‑intelligence capabilities across its advertising, commerce and defence businesses. By early August the company detailed the structure of a new AI “factory” valued at about $10 billion, explaining that the assets would be placed in a special‑purpose vehicle while a subsidiary would generate revenue. The later report also noted a separate comment from a job seeker who said it was difficult to find suitable employment after changing jobs, suggesting concerns about the availability of opportunities in the expanding AI sector.
