Profile
Runs mobile, broadband and IPTV networks, supported by satellite and cable television, cloud and data centers, payments, and online banking. The connectivity base remains central while enterprise and public-sector growth is organized around industry-specific AI transformation.
Runs Korea-focused wireless, broadband and IPTV services, with satellite and cable television extending the media footprint. Content production and distribution sit alongside the access network, while BC Card and Kbank add payments and online banking.
Enterprise operations span cloud, internet data centers, IT systems, security and data platforms. Execution centers on maintaining network quality while applying AI transformation to media, enterprise and public-sector services. The group combines long-lived connectivity infrastructure with separately identifiable media, finance and cloud subsidiaries.
Service continuity and information security are structural dependencies. Major outages have disrupted multiple services, and government investigators linked unauthorized femtocells to exposed subscriber identifiers and fraudulent mobile payments. Current management identifies trusted networks, service quality and information security as the foundation for its AX platform strategy.
