SK Telecom nearly doubles AI data-center revenue

SK Telecom’s AI data-center revenue reached KRW 136.2 billion in the second quarter, up 92.5% year over year, while the segment accounted for about 3.1% of the carrier’s KRW 4.3591 trillion in consolidated revenue. SK Telecom’s earnings release says its new SK Hyper unit will secure land and power for a phased 5 GW capacity target starting in 2029. For compute buyers tracking the constraints behind Core Scientific’s AI-capacity expansion, the growth rate is the fact to file—but 5 GW remains a development goal, not capacity available to contract today.
