No Verifiable Basis for the 90% Figure

The claim, summarized as "AI 앱 90%는 도태된다" — that 90% of AI apps will be weeded out — presents a specific quantitative prediction about the survival rate of AI applications in the market. However, the figure could not be traced to a verifiable primary source, such as an industry report, study, or named analyst forecast.

In reviewing 12 primary sources, no evidence was found that directly supports or quantifies the 90% attrition rate for AI applications.

Forecast Language, Not Established Fact

Claims of this type often circulate as commentary from industry executives or analysts, and similar statements have been made about app market consolidation generally. But without a named source, date, or methodology behind the 90% figure, the claim functions as an unattributed forecast rather than an established statistic.

Neither the Ministry of Science and ICT nor major Korean industry players such as Samsung, LG, Naver, or Kakao are identified in connection with the claim.

Conclusion

The specific 90% figure carries no traceable attribution to a study, report, or named source in the material reviewed. Until such a source emerges, the claim that 90% of AI apps will be phased out is best characterized as Unverifiable.
