Yongin semiconductor industry development

Overview

Yongin Special City is implementing various initiatives to support its growing semiconductor industry. In late September 2026, the city organized a job fair at Yongin Mireu Stadium, featuring a dedicated Semiconductor Industry Pavilion. The event aimed to facilitate the hiring of 245 individuals through interviews with 42 companies, including Tes, Jusung Engineering, and Surplus Global, while providing mentoring in semiconductor and AI sectors.

By mid-October 2026, focus shifted toward infrastructure and housing for the expected influx of workers at the Yongin semiconductor cluster. Mayor Lee Sang-il requested that the Financial Services Commission relax Project Financing (PF) regulations to prevent delays in constructing rental dormitories and worker accommodations. In response to such housing supply concerns, the Financial Services Commission decided to delay the implementation of PF equity ratio regulations for residential projects by two years, moving the deadline from 2027 to 2029.
