That doesn't seem accurate at all. The big 3 Korean clouds used inside Korea are NHN Cloud, Naver Cloud and now KT. Which one of these is whitelabeled? And what's the source on Samsung SDI Cloud being the "largest Korean cloud"? What metric?

NHN Cloud is in fact being used more and more in the government [1], as well as playing a big part in the recovery effort of this fire. [2]

No, unlike what you're suggesting, Korea has plenty of independent domestic cloud and the government has been adopting it more and more. It's not on the level of China, Russia or obviously the US, but it's very much there and accelerating quickly. Incomparable to places like the EU which still have almost nothing.
