SKB Holds New Year and New Semester Event

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] SK Broadband announced that from the 7th to March 31st, it will hold the “Gye~myohan New Start” event to support new beginnings for the New Year and new semester season.

During the event period, new customers who subscribe to combined products of ultra-high-speed internet of 500M or higher and broadcasting (regardless of IPTV or cable TV) with SK Broadband or SK Telecom are eligible. Customers who purchase the SK Telecom Galaxy S23 while using B tv (regardless of new subscription, number portability, or device change) are also eligible.

Eligible customers can apply through the SK Broadband official website, B tv event page, B Direct Shop, T Direct Shop, SK Telecom agencies, and more. By choosing one of the desired benefits on the respective page, 555 customers will be selected by lottery to receive gifts worth a total of 40 million KRW, including laptops, Galaxy S23 Starbucks Edition, kids-only Kkureogi Phone Pok?mon Edition, content vouchers, and portable batteries.

Ahead of the March new semester, a B tv ZEM event for children will also be held.

In November last year, SK Broadband was the first IPTV to offer the Tuntun English content, the number one preferred early childhood and elementary English education brand, for free on B tv ZEM. Since then, Tuntun English has received high interest from parents and children, ranking first in the number of views per episode among B tv ZEM educational content.

Moreover, during the winter vacation, content provided by major brands in the learning field will be opened for free to help children develop proper study habits. Carefully selected popular content for children will be introduced sequentially every week, including ▲Tuntun English Junior Plus and Super Tuntun English Junior ▲“The Sound of the Heart” children’s environmental adventure with Greenpeace ▲the Why? series of educational comics, a bestseller with 86 million copies sold, featuring fish and animals ▲BBC vivid animal documentary “Octonauts” dubbed version exploring the sea.

Furthermore, all customers who subscribe to “Albert AI Home,” which allows easy coding learning at home, will receive Shinsegae gift certificates, and all customers who subscribe to the kids-only B tv remote control and play pen “Jam Pen” will receive a play desk, preparing a variety of rich events tailored to children’s age groups.

Hong Seung-jin, head of marketing strategy at SK Broadband, said, “To welcome the year of Gye-myo in 2023, we have prepared generous gifts for customers preparing for new beginnings such as the new semester and moving. We hope that the gifts carefully prepared by SK Broadband will be a support so that customers can start anew with a fresh heart and mood.”
