K-Con Land is a project aimed at fostering the video and cultural industries by attracting content companies to the Incheon Free Economic Zone. Kessler Collection, which owns more than ten luxury hotels and resorts worldwide, submitted a Letter of Intent (LOI) to Incheon City and the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority on June 12 for this project.

SK Securities is expected to participate as the lead arranger for project financing in this initiative. In cooperation with Kessler Collection, the company is pursuing efforts to attract premium hotels and provide specialized services for global tourists. Richard Kessler, Chairman of Kessler Collection, visited the SK Securities headquarters in person to discuss joint commercialization strategies.

Jung Ho Han, Head of Global Business Division at SK Securities, stated, "This cooperation goes beyond simply attracting hotels; it will serve as a starting point for presenting a new type of cultural tourism business model that integrates K-Content with the global luxury lifestyle."
