Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung, who is accompanying Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man during the latter's official visit to South Korea,   on September 7 visited and worked at SK Group’s AI data center, according to the Vietnam News Agency.

Operated by SK Telecom (SKT), a subsidiary of SK Group, the Haein GPU Center in Gasan, Seoul, serves as one of South Korea’s major AI computing infrastructures. It supports the development of large-scale AI models and enhances the nation's sovereign AI capabilities.

The facility features a unified cluster equipped with over 1,000 NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs. Integrated with an AI infrastructure management and virtualization platform, the center enables flexible GPU resource allocation to support AI model development, training, and deployment.

Currently, the Haein center provides computing infrastructure for South Korea’s national sovereign AI foundational model program, bolstering domestic AI research and development. The facility represents a key component of South Korea’s national strategy to become one of the world's top three AI nations.

During the working session, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung welcomed SK Group's ongoing interest, presence, and investment activities in Vietnam. He noted that SK possesses comprehensive financial, technological, and governance capabilities that align with Vietnam's target to attract selective foreign investment in its new development phase.

The Deputy Prime Minister urged SK Group to explore investment opportunities across key sectors - particularly energy, AI, and technology - with a focus on Vietnam's high-potential strategic localities such as Bac Ninh, Phu Tho, and Tay Ninh.

He expressed his expectation that SK Group will expand its footprint by investing in high-tech ventures, clean energy transition projects, and core digital infrastructure, while transferring advanced technologies, fostering local talent, and forging strong linkages with Vietnamese tech enterprises.

SK Group currently operates around 200 subsidiaries globally, with 2025 revenue exceeding $170 billion, focusing on AI, semiconductors, and energy. In Vietnam, SK has executed major investments in leading domestic enterprises totaling over $3.5 billion.
