# Korea International Trade Association

The data source the speaker cites for the figure that South Korea imported two-thirds of its helium from Qatar in 2025 — see [[claim-sk-hynix-vulnerability]].

**Enrichment context**: KITA's published 2024 data shows Korean helium imports are roughly 50% Middle East-sourced (Qatar plus Algeria), suggesting the speaker's two-thirds figure may overstate the Qatar-specific share.
