<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Amkor Revises Third Quarter Outlook</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 29 &#151; Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) said today
that revenues for the third quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2004 are expected to be
approximately $480&nbsp;million, or 3% lower than the second quarter of 2004,
compared with prior guidance of flat quarter- over-quarter revenue. Amkor
expects gross margin for the third quarter to be around 17% compared with prior
guidance of around 19%. The net loss for the third quarter is expected to be
approximately $0.13 cents per diluted share, compared with prior guidance of a
net loss of $0.07 to $0.09.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Our revenue shortfall in the third quarter was due to declining customer
forecasts during the quarter and lower-than-expected support of these
forecasts, which we believe reflects an industry-wide inventory correction that
has distorted the normal seasonal trends in our business,&#148; said John Boruch,
Amkor&#146;s president and chief operating officer. &#147;Our view is that the
semiconductor industry is experiencing a classical correction, and it is
unclear at this time when business will improve.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Our gross margin shortfall in the third quarter was principally due to the
impact of Amkor&#146;s operating leverage on a lower revenue stream. In addition, we
anticipated that the product mix would improve in the quarter and partially
offset higher factory costs associated with our capacity expansion and
corporate growth initiatives; however the product mix did not improve,&#148; said
Ken Joyce, Amkor&#146;s chief financial officer.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Amkor will release third quarter financial results on Tuesday, October&nbsp;26, 2004
after the market closes and will conduct a conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern
time on October&nbsp;26 to discuss the third quarter results in more detail. This
call can be accessed by dialing 303-262-2075 or by visiting the investor
relations page of our web site: www.amkor.com or CCBN&#146;s website,
www.companyboardroom.com.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Amkor is a leading provider of contract semiconductor assembly and test
services. The company offers semiconductor companies and electronics OEMs a
complete set of microelectronic design, manufacturing and support services.
More information on Amkor is available from the company&#146;s SEC filings and on

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding
expected revenues, expected gross margin, expected net income per share, and
product mix. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties that could affect future operating results and cause actual
results to differ materially from historical and expected results, including,
but not limited to, the following: the highly unpredictable nature of the
semiconductor industry; volatility of consumer demand for products
incorporating our semiconductor packages; deterioration of the U.S. or other
economies; worldwide economic effects of terrorist attacks; military conflict;
competitive pricing; declines in average selling prices; ability to transition
to lower cost vendors; competition; and exchange rate fluctuations. Further
