<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Amkor Revises Second Quarter Outlook<br></B>
Thursday July&nbsp;1, 8:30 am ET


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">CHANDLER, Ariz., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ &#151; Amkor Technology,
Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR &#151; News) said today that revenues for the second
quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2004 are expected to be approximately 6%
higher than the first quarter of 2004, compared with prior guidance
of up 5% to 8%. Amkor expects gross margin for the second quarter to
be around 19% compared with prior guidance of around 24%. Net income
for the second quarter is expected to be approximately 6 cents per
diluted share, compared with prior guidance of 17 to 22 cents,
principally due to lower than anticipated gross margin. Both the
prior and revised EPS guidance include an after-tax gain of 11 cents
per share from the sale of 10.1&nbsp;million shares of ASI common stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Our second quarter gross margin shortfall is primarily attributable
to a very unfavorable product mix,&#148; said Ken Joyce, Amkor&#146;s Chief
Financial Officer. &#147;Our revenue from several high-margin advanced
packages, including MicroLeadFrame&#174;, Stacked CSP and ChipArray&#174;BGA,
was less than we expected, reflecting weaker-than-normal support of
customer forecasts in the wireless sector and some shortages of
high-end wafers from the foundries. The soft demand in our higher
margin advanced packages was offset by stronger than anticipated
support of forecasts in our lower margin PBGA business. In addition,
we are still absorbing higher factory costs related to our capacity
expansion initiatives, as well as an overall rise in material costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;In order to improve our margins during the second half of 2004, we
are focusing our efforts on enriching our product mix, selectively
raising prices, accelerating our movement to lower cost material
vendors and negotiating lower prices with our existing laminate
substrate vendors,&#148; said Bruce Freyman, Amkor&#146;s president and chief
operating officer. &#147;While forecasting the product mix has been
difficult so far this year, if normal seasonal trends hold, we would
expect an improvement in our product mix in the second half of 2004.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Amkor will release second quarter financial results on Tuesday, July
27, 2004 after the market closes and will conduct a conference call
at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July&nbsp;27. This call can be accessed by
dialing 303-205-0033 or by visiting the investor relations page of
our web site: www.amkor.com or CCBN&#146;s website,
www.companyboardroom.com.

test services. The company offers semiconductor companies and
electronics OEMs a complete set of microelectronic design,

statements regarding expected revenues, expected gross margin,
expected net income per share, product mix, raising prices, movement
to lower cost material vendors and negotiating lower prices with
