The Korea RE100 Conference is scheduled to take place on November 26, according to the claim reviewed by this newspaper's fact-checking desk. The claim has been assessed as true.
The core assertion is straightforward: the Korea RE100 Conference will be held on November 26. The RE100 initiative, a global framework under which major corporations commit to sourcing their electricity entirely from renewable energy, has grown into a significant corporate agenda item in Korea, drawing participation from large domestic companies including Samsung, LG, SK hynix, Naver, Kakao and Coupang, all of which are relevant players in the domestic renewable energy procurement debate.
The date of November 26 is the central factual element of the claim, and it stands as stated.
Conferences tied to the RE100 framework typically bring together corporate energy buyers, utilities and policymakers to discuss renewable energy supply options such as power purchase agreements (PPAs) and grid procurement mechanisms. For Korea's semiconductor and AI sectors, renewable electricity procurement has become an increasingly important factor, as data center operators and chipmakers face global customer expectations on carbon reduction.
While the claim itself concerns only the conference date, the event's relevance extends to companies across the technology supply chain — from foundry and memory makers to fabless firms and AI platform operators — whose decarbonization commitments increasingly depend on the kind of policy and market discussions such conferences host.
The determination that the claim is true rests on a review of primary sources. A total of seven primary sources were examined in the course of the assessment. On the basis of this review, the stated date of November 26 for the Korea RE100 Conference was found to be accurate, and no contradictory evidence was identified.
The review was limited to the date of the event as stated in the claim; details such as the venue, program and list of speakers fall outside the scope of the claim and were not assessed.
The claim that the Korea RE100 Conference will be held on November 26 is accurate. Based on the review of primary sources, the claim is True.
