documents and information previously filed by Amkor Technology Inc. (the
"Company" or the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

     (1) The Prospectus filed as part of a Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the

pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") and any amendments or reports thereto filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of updating such description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14

filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered

to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to
believe his conduct was unlawful. The Company has entered into indemnification

indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the
future.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

a.   The Registrant hereby undertakes

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the 


                                      -2-

<PAGE>   4

securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time 
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

b.   The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual 
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

c.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to law, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws or indemnification agreements, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

     RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 4, 1998 (the
"Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 6,550,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the "Shares"), reserved for issuance pursuant to
the Company's 1998 Stock Plan, the 1998 Director Option Plan, 1998 Stock Option
Plan for French Employees and the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together,
the "Plans"). As your legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken and
are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with
the sale and issuance of the Shares under the Plans.

     It is our opinion that the Shares will be, when issued and sold in the
