We will further enhance our security level by acquiring the ISMS (Information Security Management System) certification scheduled for the second half of this year."

The real-time audio broadcasting platform Spoon Radio started its service in South Korea in March 2016 and now operates in 20 countries including the United States, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam, establishing itself as a global platform used by approximately 3 million people worldwide every month.
