Kim pointed out that driven by the global artificial intelligence boom, semiconductor industry profits have soared, and South Koreas nominal economic growth rate has reached its fastest pace in over two decades. Although macroeconomic indicators show the economy has entered an exceptionally strong growth phase, many households and small and medium-sized enterprises have not yet truly felt the benefits. Kim noted that in the first quarter, South Koreas real GDP growth was 3.8%, while real gross domestic income growth reached 13.2%, a significant gap indicating that the rise in chip prices has boosted South Koreas purchasing power far more than the growth in actual output. He stated that most of the resulting income growth has not yet been reflected in the broader economy, but may gradually appear in the coming quarters through bonuses, wage increases, and the repatriation of export revenue, ultimately potentially supporting luxury goods consumption and real estate demand. "Looking back at history, this type of capital has flowed into the real estate market many times, and its difficult to assume this cycle will be different," Kim added.
