In the commemorative medal booth within the exhibition hall, medals on various themes such as the ‘BTS 10th Anniversary Commemorative Medal,’ ‘Son Heung-min Commemorative Medal,’ ‘Banggasa Yusang Commemorative Medal,’ and ‘MapleStory 20th Anniversary Commemorative Medal’ are displayed. KOMSCO explained that through the exhibited medals, visitors can observe the transformation of KOMSCO from a currency manufacturing company to a cultural enterprise.

In particular, most of the commemorative medal products are sold out or are not easily found offline, which is expected to add significance to the viewing experience.

Additionally, the digital products booth is equipped with explanatory materials on ICT products manufactured and supplied by KOMSCO, such as mobile IDs and mobile gift certificates, serving as a place to enhance visitors’ understanding of the ICT field. It also conveys the intention to inform that KOMSCO is transforming into a digital company utilizing ICT technology in line with the digital era.

Sung Chang-hoon, President of KOMSCO, said, “KOMSCO will strengthen its role in promoting K-Culture domestically and internationally through various products such as the BTS and Son Heung-min commemorative medals and the Banggasa Yusang commemorative medal by enhancing its image as a cultural enterprise.”
