SK Telecoms To Cater To The Gen-Z And Millennia Market

SK Telecom is one of the major companies in South Korea that are interested in making headways in the crypto and NFT markets. The launch of the Ifland platform will give the telecom company the ability to cater to the Gen-Z and millennial market, which is rapidly growing in the industry.

The partnership with Morph Interactive will also introduce mini-games and other game elements in the metaverse space. Also, it will allow users to create costumes, avatars, and spaces, to foster interactions and communications in Ifland. SK Telecom has aligned effectively with Morph Interactive since July 2021, when Ifland was launched.

Chief Executive Officer of Morph Interactive, Kim Jung-youl, stated that the partnership deal will enable the quick transformation of Ifland into a successful metaverse both for users and businesses on a global scale. Additionally, SK Telecoms will be holding events such as concerts, festivals, fan meetings, forums, and lectures in Ifland.

The Head of SK Telecom’s metaverse platform, Yang Maeng-seok, commented on the development.

“We will continue to expand cooperation with leading Metabus-related companies and establish ourselves as a global service,” he stated. The plan is also to introduce the NFT marketplace in the metaverse gradually.
