South Korea is the largest memory chip maker in the world -- between Samsung and Hynix they have 75% of the market share. Micron has about 20%. Samsung also makes logic chips for internal use and external customers -- their foundry business is #2 in the industry. You alo have to remember that TSMC's meteotic rise on the other hand is fairly recent. Intel and Samsung were the largest producer/money-maker in the chip business until very lately.
