According to a Bloomberg report on the 7th (local time), SK hynix is reportedly discussing various options with advisory firms regarding the sale of its Chongqing packaging plant.

Bloomberg reported that if the sale proceeds, the value of the stake could reach approximately $3 billion (about 4 trillion Hanwha won).
