Johnnie Walker, the scotch whisky brand owned by British drinks giant Diageo, has named Rosé of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK as its new brand partner, the company said Monday. The brand will run campaigns celebrating the Grammy-nominated singer’s creativity in Korea, Britain, Indonesia, China and other markets. The partnership kicks off Monday with a brand event at Bar 81 in Signiel Seoul, a luxury hotel in Lotte World Tower, Korea’s tallest building. At the event, Rosé will present her signature cocktail, the “Twist of Something Highball,” made with Johnnie Walker Black Label.

Mom's Touch to enter Kazakhstan through local food conglomerate

Korean burger and chicken chain Mom’s Touch will enter Kazakhstan, expanding its presence in Central Asia after entering Uzbekistan last year, the company said Monday. Mom’s Touch said it signed a master franchise agreement with Mom’s Touch Central Asia LLP, the restaurant arm of Kazakh food company Shin-Line Group. Under such agreements, a local partner gains the rights to open and operate stores and to sub-franchise in a given territory. The two companies aim to open more than 50 stores over the next 10 years. The first store is targeted for the first half of next year. The deal also covers neighboring Kyrgyzstan. Mom’s Touch said it will first establish the brand in Kazakhstan, Central Asia’s largest economy, and then gradually consider entering nearby markets. Founded in 1995, Shin-Line is Central Asia’s top ice cream maker, with a market share of more than 40 percent across the region. It exports to about 10 countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, a grouping of former Soviet republics, through its own cold-chain logistics network. It also operates more than

Samsung SDI, Alpha Omega Power sign 1-GWh ESS supply deal

Samsung SDI said Monday that its U.S. subsidiary, Samsung SDI America, has signed a 1-gigawatt-hour agreement to supply energy storage systems (ESS) to Alpha Omega Power, a U.S. utility-scale battery storage developer and independent power producer. The latest deal brings the total volume of agreements between the two companies to 1.5 gigawatt-hours, including an initial contract signed late last year. Alpha Omega Power plans to deploy the systems in large-scale power projects aimed at strengthening grid reliability and meeting rising electricity demand. Construction is scheduled to begin next year in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council and Electric Reliability Council of Texas markets. Under the latest agreement, Samsung SDI will supply its Samsung Battery Box 1.7, an integrated ESS equipped with nickel-cobalt-aluminum batteries. All cells and modules will be manufactured at the StarPlus Energy plant in Kokomo, Indiana, with deliveries scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.

POSCO union warns of 'indefinite' walkout after wage talks collapse

Unionized workers at South Korean steelmaker POSCO will launch an "indefinite" strike next week unless the company makes an acceptable offer in wage negotiations, the union said Monday. The warning came after wage talks between POSCO and the union broke down over the weekend. "Starting at 7 a.m. on Nov. 2, workers in non-core production lines at the company's plants in Pohang and Gwangyang will go on strike, excluding those in the blast furnace, heating and steelmaking lines," union spokesperson Park Chun-su said over the phone. The union remains open to negotiations if the company makes any meaningful new proposals before the strike begins, he said. "If the union launches the planned strike, the company will immediately activate an emergency operational response system and adjust production volumes to minimize the impact on customers and domestic demand industries," POSCO said in a statement. In September, unionized workers at the two plants in southern South Korea staged two rounds of partial strikes, marking the first industrial action by POSCO workers since the company was founded in

Samsung, SK hynix shareholder return policies in focus ahead of Q3 earnings

Shareholder return policies of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are gaining market attention ahead of their announcements for third-quarter earnings, as investors see them as a key way to address the mismatch between the chipmakers' record-breaking profits and their sluggish share prices. Samsung Electronics is set to announce its three-month financial results during its earnings call on Thursday, while SK hynix said it will announce its results on its earnings call on Wednesday. Earnings are expected to be exceptionally strong, as surging demand for memory chips and continued supply bottlenecks have driven up average selling prices across the memory chip market. In its earnings guidance released Oct. 8, Samsung Electronics estimated third-quarter revenue of 195 trillion won ($146.96 billion) and operating profit of 107.4 trillion won. If realized, the company will become the first Korean company to surpass 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit. SK hynix is expected to post 98.23 trillion won in revenue and 76.96 trillion won in operating profit during the same period, according

China has seen a proliferation of advanced generative AI video models – systems trained on visual data to generate or edit video content based on user inputs such as text prompts, images and audio. The country’s vast short-video ecosystems and looser copyright rules have helped give Chinese...
