Anthropic Opens Seoul Office as Samsung and LG Roll Out Claude Company-Wide
On June 17, 2026, Anthropic opened its Seoul office, its third in Asia-Pacific after Tokyo and Bengaluru, and named the Korean enterprises standardizing on Claude. Samsung SDS is deploying Claude across Samsung Electronics, LG CNS is rolling it out across the LG Group, and Hanwha Solutions is bringing Claude to global employees through AWS Bedrock under strict data-residency rules. Anthropic also signed a safety and cybersecurity MOU with Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT.
EMOR AI Take
When Samsung and LG put Claude on every desk across their groups, the platform we build client systems on is being vetted by some of the most demanding enterprises on earth, on security, data residency, and reliability. That scrutiny flows downhill: the same model hardened for a Fortune 100 rollout is the one answering calls and booking jobs for the small businesses we serve.
