A NAND fab on SK hynix's Cheongju campus, which already houses its M11, M12 and M15 fabs. SK hynix announced on 7 August 2026 that its board had approved 19.1 trillion won for M17, within a total of about 54 trillion won that includes 35.2 trillion won for Yongin Y2. The release gives the schedule as "breaking ground in February next year with plans to open its first cleanroom in December 2028", with the investment period running through April 2031, and gives no date for first output. Status is 'announced' rather than 'construction' because the release schedules the groundbreaking for February 2027.
