South Korea\'s National Assembly Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee begins second-half activities after ruling and opposition parties completed member assignments. The panel is expected to focus on securing budgets and setting investment priorities for government AI projects, ensuring power supply for AI data centres and chip plants, and overhauling broadcasting and telecom rules. It is also set to debate regulation of false and manipulated information, follow-up work on the AI basic law and media fund financing.

With corporate participation in South Korea\'s digital asset market set to expand, speakers at a National Assembly seminar said the market should be opened safely by separating trading and asset custody, strengthening internal controls and setting clear liability frameworks for accidents. Participants called for independent custody infrastructure aligned with international standards, institutional-grade security and transparent management of reserve assets. They also urged swift progress on second-stage legislation for the Digital Asset Basic Act.
