South Korea is preparing to become the first nation in the world to roll-out super-fast 5G mobile internet. South Korea is in a race with China, the United States and Japan to market 5G, with firms like Samsung, Huawei and Apple pioneering 5G tech. SK Telecom is working with its memory-chip making affiliate SK Hynix to build a highly digitised and connected factory powered by 5G technology, Ryu said. Smaller local rival LG Electronics plans to release its 5G smartphone in South Korea later this month. Among South Korea's top three telecom operators, SK Telecom and KT Corp do not use Huawei equipment for 5G.
