SK Hynix's Taobao flagship store has removed all products and plans to cease operations

According to reports from The Paper and others, on August 24, consumers claimed that the Taobao Tmall store "SKhynix Flagship Store" suddenly announced the termination of its operations, raising concerns about the after-sales warranty of the purchased memory modules. The store's homepage indicated that it plans to voluntarily terminate operations on September 9, 2026, and has removed all products, making it currently impossible to search for the store directly on Taobao.

Customer service on the Taobao platform stated that if an order is still within the after-sales validity period after the store closes, customers can apply for repairs or refunds on the order details page; if there is no after-sales entry or the seller has not processed it, customers can contact platform customer service for assistance or check if they are entitled to the brand's official warranty. On August 25, SK Hynix's stock price opened lower and continued to decline, falling more than 4% as of the related report.

In another report, members of the SK Hynix union voted against a preliminary wage agreement reached after two months of negotiations, with 50.08% of the 15,045 employees who participated in the vote opposing it, with only a 25-vote difference between approval and disapproval. The agreement originally included a 6.3% wage increase and adjusted the profit-sharing bonus to 40% cash and 60% company shares, whereas it was previously distributed entirely in cash.
