Notes
The source presents three possible identities: (1) the former 'KOREA CHEMI-CON' brand of SAMYOUNG, a Nippon Chemi-Con joint venture (considered most likely); (2) a product of CHEMI-CON KOREA or another company linked to NCC (medium likelihood); or (3) a counterfeit NCC product (considered unlikely). It documents 1998 SOTEC/iMac examples and compares their appearance with SAMYOUNG components. None of the three explanations is established as fact.
