South Korea's espionage laws have been expanded to cover all foreign countries, not just North Korea, in an effort to protect its strategic technologies, particularly in the semiconductor sector. The new law, which took effect on September 13, introduces a minimum prison term of three years for espionage-related offenses. This move comes amid increasing global competition in semiconductor and AI technologies, and follows several high-profile cases of technology leaks, including a 2021 prosecution involving Samsung Electronics.
