According to CoinMeta, the Bank of Korea has warned that the growth in corporate and household incomes brought about by the semiconductor boom, which has translated into increased consumption, may lead to a rise in inflationary pressures again. The increase in semiconductor export prices has enhanced purchasing power, and the Bank of Korea believes that accelerating consumption will cause demand to exceed current supply capacity. Price pressures on the demand side are considered one of the reasons for the recent series of interest rate hikes.
