Mu Novembala, SK Life Science, kampani yothandizana ndi SK Biopharmaceuticals yokhala ndi maofesi ku Paramus, NJ, idalandira chilolezo cha FDA cha XCOPRI® (mapiritsi a cenobamate) pochiza khunyu losakhazikika mwa akuluakulu. XCOPRI ikuyembekezeka kupezeka ku US mu kotala lachiwiri la chaka chino.

Kuphatikiza apo, SK Holdings yakhala ikuyika ndalama m'magawo a US a shale energy G&P (Gathering & Processing), kuphatikiza Brazos ndi Blue Racer, kuyambira ndi Eureka mu 2017. SK Global Chemical idagula mabizinesi a ethylene acrylic acid (EAA) ndi polyvinylide (PVDC) kuchokera ku Dow Chemical mu 2017 ndipo idawonjezera mabizinesi amtengo wapatali a mankhwala. SK Telecom ikupanga njira yofalitsira yochokera ku 5G ndi Sinclair Broadcast Group ndipo ili ndi mapulojekiti ogwirizana a esports ndi Comcast ndi Microsoft.
