According to the article, the Vietnamese economy shows potential to grow even faster than the RoK’s thanks to its fortunate timing. The article said Vietnam could increase its role as the hub of Korean production that can also help Vietnam in developing its own technologies. 

Major Korean groups such as Samsung, LG, Hyosung and Kumho, are investing in big production facilities in Vietnam. Hanwha Group made an equity investment of 400 million USD in Vingroup, and SK Group invested 470 million USD in Masan Group in their bets to take advantage of Vietnam’s growth that stands at 6-7 percent annually.
