Episode Description:
A voided exam in China and new AI infrastructure in Korea tell two different stories.
China voided 140,000 exam scores after a cheating scandal, underscoring how tight the region's youth job market has become. Meanwhile, KAIST is building an AI data center and a national business federation opened 100 funded startup slots. Samsung's cross-team yield breakthrough shows what skills are in demand now.
