As I mentioned in the beginning of my presentation. The five G market is becoming more mature with five G subscribers, taking up more than 50% of the total handset subscribers. As a result, we concluded that there should be more diverse price plus they can cater to different data usages and cluster my preferences and as a result.

We introduced a diverse price plans, including low medium and high end price plans and online only plans in order to offer more choices for our customers.

You wouldn't take what you're thinking going back to the hook right isn't it will tell you some junk telemarketing till the conductor so she'll buy that would cause me to.

Now I would like to hand over to Mr. Kimzey hung head of integrated marketing strategy office, who will discuss the details and expected benefits.

So just hang on them, but towards the Muslim question in my mind, Yogurts, which upon finding the ones that I know you get asked me though.

First of all as far as the regular five two plants. We have 49 price plan that offers eight gigabytes of data and 59 price plan that offers 24 gigabytes of data and 99 price plan that offers daily essential service benefits and unlimited data. So as a result, we have a five G price.

Glenn lineup that covers the price range of 48001, all the way to 100001, we'd be interval of 10001.

Well, ladies and gentlemen.

And then you got a nice.

It takes a manageable level.

As we keep doing that.

And it all goes.

Uh huh.

With these new five G price plans, we expect and now customers can enjoy more diverse and economic plan choices in terms of price data and benefits and as a result, we expect that the five G subscriber base will continue to grow.

Oh yeah.

You're going to take off.

And I'm gonna be something I can do even better.

Joe.

I understand that there was a question about the potential impact of price plans on our pool. So can you elaborate more on that.

The Evo and shouldn't give them just for sure as you can go to them to join Davies from Jakarta, and that'd be Oh go ahead.

Summing it up.

So as you can see we now have more price plans for low and medium end compared to before.

Please go ahead.

It doesn't you don't have like a window to accommodate the now 200 singling that they cause I want to say that it's all going to the upgrade because you are pushing.

I'm Gonna L T homes every day.

Using your product.

Yeah.

As a consequence, some customers may downgrade their price plans, depending on their data usage and other customers may upgrade their price plans, depending on the increased trend of data usage and what is even more important is that we expect five G migration to be accelerated as now LTE users can choose more price plan.

Yes.

Okay, I'm Gonna Tricia they'll get in Manhattan Beach.

And then a procedure you ended up happening to them, they're slipping away most of them. They didn't go so well.

Uh huh.

Well, that's all as far as their impact on our revenue trend because all five price plans were launched all at once we believe that we can share with you more details after we get more data from actual customer feedback and usage patterns.

You go into a fight if you will just for citizenship and raise our profile to what some of US obviously goes on.

I mean, you're looking for rocket three countries, you're going with it is all flavors unions I meant to say it a lot.

With that I'm going to go.

Okay.

Based on the new five G pipe price plans that offer more choices for our customers will continue to expand or if Iot network and improve our services and offer a more convenient and useful services and as a result, we will continue to make sure that five G becomes mainstream and sustain our M N O growth.

So I went to the 10 minute then how long do your marketing doesn't give me appealing jumbo and then even pulling through into my cooking being hungry, we shouldn't go to China, I'm going to get to a beautiful soapbox hungry. So she can do.

And in addition, the total number of five just subscribers has reached 24 million in Korea and fight your market is becoming more mature as a result, we see that there's very low likelihood of competition heating up again to attract five G subscribers.

Actually I will tell you enjoy please I'm not sure stay the same and Andrew krill.

S has been set at 831 for the first quarter as well as the second quarter and this is the same level of level as last year and this is what we consider the minimum guarantee of dividend that we expect from SK telecom.

As we see there's upside potential for your earnings and also if you take into account the dividend income coming from Hana Financial group I believe that there is an upside potential for a dividend payout. So what is can you give us the overall guidance for the annual dividend payout. Thank you.

It was on two docks alcohol units on it until you can kind of tell me I'll get you an engine doing could open market, sometimes done careful penetration will pay them off and you hear it I got up into the Rockies for me, though.

Thank you for the questions. The first question regarding the T universe will be addressed by Mr. E. N J O head of subscription service marketing office, and then I will cover the second question.

I know things got put them up getting them done doing me, though.

Hello, I am Ian Jones head of subscription service marketing office.

Susan in terms of attrition at the Nuc therapy function. So obviously junior so cousin, who can we give them a little you won't go to hooked up and then they will give just haven't got you to go to places where the consulting.

Some of them.

As you can see the user base growth of tea University is the highest among all of the non telecom services that SK Telecom has launched so far so we expect significant growth going forward by enhancing usage value for our customers.

Yeah.

It was something that isn't in Puget sound.

Thank you Bonnie we do Pisolite pool ecommerce to continue to persist longer term tenants come from door Trudell Tricia Smith.

And as for our product offerings last month, we introduced universe past life focused on daily benefits and universe pass Flynn I, which is focused on online shopping.

But how about in gaming from yoga, because it'll turn comes from Rockies being trained some comedy isn't doing and then you've got tens haven't got such a little 20. So tell me talk cause hometown Uchida there was some though.

And in the second half of this year, we plan to add more convenient features such as sharing and gifting, which are expected to bring about more significant growth in the future by creating more value for our customers like I mentioned I think she can be wrong, but switching goodness and then kudos on he can.

And how long ago, Jim because Tony pivotal part and then deal, especially I know you mentioned October two junior anchor two hapoel heavily spender.

And moving on to the size of the business. So the subscription business that's been producing meaningful results since its launch with a G. N V. Surpassing 200 260 billion won in the first half of the year.

But children.

And you don't envision to have triggered all group how we yeah. Yeah, you did some 10 transaction, yet and you're already putting the COVID-19 minutes not totally immune cousin don't persist for some time.

As for the sales revenue, we see a 1.5 fold track of growth and this does not include not just the one off sales, but it includes mostly recurring sales. So it is quite significant.

What was the root cause China to me answer them in offline, you too long or too Hon more contact center toward the T membership sort of only about 10 P. M in China between E X how should we be prudent.

Yeah.

And moving onto the district distribution channel of the subscription through online channels, such as contact Center T World T membership and 11th Street account for about 42%.

Well you should stay with the touch PGE oops people, probably as long as it goes.

He says I'll be there I mean, I'm trying to get someone said that things seem a little crazy erosion level bushes to go buy something.

And customers in their twenty's, all the way to the forties continue to account for more than 65%. So these figures show that young customers have been signing up for T. Universe made me through online channels.

What do you go to unpopular.

I mean, you should get are you telling them towards part of hip cool pool, which you talked to it a little pickup in NIM due to get to turnaround and it is how long it took up telling them. How cool you do you think it would be on some of them even looking at 10 hours from that.

And as for T University partnerships, the number of partners husband, surpassing 60, and we've been expanding the scope and breadth of benefits and among the partners, there's very strong demand and preferences for benefits related to daily lives and the media benefits you don't even know it.

Thank you.

Yes or no.

And then maybe there's something out there that.

Oh, I guess for me, though.

Now I'd like to comment about the question regarding using dividend gains from Hana financial group as part of SK telecoms dividend payout.

Kicked into the money as I know I'm glad it until like a partnership with Australia, you must something I'm trying to do.

Hum.

Tim would you again, you're taking two minutes of combined T. J can have immediate tenant at one time and you don't know how to Ocado Tricia.

Pneumonia due tricia little pocket of money is going to pay down your thoughts on how to cut away. So they don't need and then I'm not sure. If I can get you can mitigate I'm curious to me though.

I discuss the significance of strategic partnership with Hana Financial group and when we take a look at the financial impact of this deal I can see that we used to hold shares of Hana card. This does not to pay dividends and now these were exchanged with the shares of Hana Financial Group Holdings.

They pay dividends.

Well intended Tricia, maybe it's an angry at him a name or talk on commodities and doing most I'm doing well.

I'll now cover how long from noon to drill pads anytime you end up giving it to them as I'm, sometimes asked me the rest of the chicken tender young being an interesting maybe promoters hungry man well how come you talk when you get rid of the you'd be able to get them done pay downs and pay them see what would you be able to discuss them either.

Kearney those stock swap deal is underway. So I cannot give you the exact amount, but last year. The D. P S where Honda financial group was 3101 per share so given that given that as a reference point. We can expect about 20 billion one of dividend gains from Hana financial group.

She wouldn't boil it down and pay them figuring out what can you tell me if I havent gone when they told me they will create that as a 200 up to critical sort of Assam does that man.

So John I'm glad you got the younger they send them to come down and you have some particular shipyard kickwheel until you got to check what unemployment or keep wondering I'm. Good to go she doesn't sound God turmoil.

Talked a little Caruso.

I don't want you to taking my smoke that he gets to me to.

Yes.

Of course with the increase in dividend income coming from Hana financial group, it's going to be helpful for our cash flow generation and this means that we will be capable of increasing shareholder return, but as for a direct impact on our shareholder dividend payout I cannot give you any detail at this point in time, but I hope that you will consider that.

This is a very important means to enhance and maximize shareholder value and going forward, we're going to consider the market situations and our financial structure before we finally decided on the annual dividend size.

Oh Q1.

They didn't want to get Woogie Shimbun, Haynesville punto, Okay Chicago.

So familiar with.

Hum.

There is a person who asked a question there is one person with a question.

Colombia and go charger with a humble instrument cause your opinion was wrong as to me that.

Yeah.

Well now go to two minutes, what you're doing in EBIT stood two dozen going there each of them. Neither the last question will be follow are asked by suddenly from E. Best investment in Securities. Please go ahead with your question.

Oh no no.

Uh huh.

I was wondering what is your inventory.

How long you can picture on a personal level.

The leases signed.

How long do you do.

I wanted to touch it.

Ooh towards sugar in play what's it called.

So Jim do you touched on how long your question of yours, and builder, which they don't do.

So you don't get ticket suitable to tender.

Yeah.

What do we say you move along quite charged from Golar or chicken.

So not animals or we Wouldnt do Tony I, particularly like charter is critical Hudson good Bollywood with Bob.

You don't walk by touching two critical you have to teach them.

And just you know come about or not.

I'm <unk> from <unk> Securities I would like to ask two questions. The first question is about your cake pecs trend in the first half of this year. Your Capex size was 850 billion one I wonder if it's going to be similar in the second half of the year on year over ear base.

<unk> and you're engaged in building joined five gene networks together with the other telecom companies to increase the five coverage and I understand that this will continue until the end of the first half of 'twenty 'twenty four so up to that point, what is going to be your capex trend for next year and the year after and as for the <unk>.

Question is about your T T V.

And as I can see that there has been a slowdown in the net adds of pay TV subscribers and your P. I P. T V subscriber growth rate has been on high single digit on a year over year basis. So I'd like to know if this trend can be sustained.

Hum.

So I'll call in and talk to many of US are known to escape the vendor ship because someone just have gone onto a shingle you also take a K picks it until the money they want to penetrate the market for me though.

Regarding your question about pay TV business I'd like to hand over to Mr. Pat Joe himself CFO of SK broadband and then ill cover your question regarding Capex.

Yeah.

Yeah, no it's been quite stable again this year for a bathroom so give me that.

Hello, I am talking to himself CFO of SK broadband.

Understood.

We wish them at all.

Okay.

She was little tissue.

You don't want us to do.

You've been one bogey because neither.

The pay TV market in Korea has been enjoying a rapid subscriber growth driven by the ice P. T V market growth and in 'twenty 'twenty. One alone 700000 subscribers were added to the subscriber base and in total we have 36 million customers in the pay TV market.

You don't want it to be something chuckled, when young until Monday anytime soon.

And gentlemen, I'm sure you do a lot of interesting you should put sensors.

It was all coming down.

In particular, the I P. T V market has seen subscriber growth of more than 1 million each year for the past five years and the I P. T V market accounts for more than 60% of the total pay TV market.

On the I P T B S someone's on Keystone and eating Gogo second television shows to mention with symbolism. So I'm, telling you want that's what Tonight is that at all.

I Trust you can go to the tenants.

Okay.

She knows unbundle syndrome should come on line.

And so some of them are can show you didn't just don't always meet up.

D E. P. T V growth rate may slow down, but there is a continued demand coming from single person households, and demand for a second T V. As a result, we expect that the I P. T V subscriber growth trend will continue and as for SK telecom in the first half of this year, we have added more than 100.

90000 people to our IP TV subscriber base and we have maintained number one in terms of net add market share.

You don't have.

So club theater keep under the umbrella of contention.

I mean, your Oklahoma Duluth put me on hold or sell you took on someone's help 20 odd percent.

So could you say like always cause I'm done.

Based on the continued growth of the subscriber base of the pay TV business. We continued to strengthen our platform competitiveness in terms of advertising and content to pursue ARPA growth of the entire pay television business. Thank you.

They use our capex it until the month have been through the August meter.

I would now like to address your question regarding Capex.

The Capex it is and I'm not sure you got your entire younger topical.

Don't get it all the way down to penetrate it I'm going to kick it in India coming into it until you kept us to keep on doing my opinion is you have to put yourself towards younger your science of genetic Japan out of cable question.

As for our Capex plan as we communicated at the annual earnings conference call as well as for the first quarter Conference call. We are planning to maintain a capex level to be similar to that of last year through efficient management.

When did you find with your model are you telling them emerging because I, probably wasn't as I'm willing to pay.

Well, just as long as our market leadership.

But again the top 200 people.

Union Eugene Resona, they took kudos because she was looked at in a pure some meat chronologically you can come up with torturing yourself capex at a miracle that you cannot get that cause you to tell you that you can give me there.

Our activities for a nationwide five G rollout to continue and we believe that we continue or we need to continue to invest in network in order to improve net five to network competitiveness and quality. So that we can maintain five to market leadership, but at the same time, we're going to pursue on efficient execution of capex.

Mainly by utilizing the joint network.

So some things have been put up a carrier sorts of it almost.

They talk to Tyler can you own them kudos I took that up I mean, there's a hilton or what are you going to just throw Ferguson with it.

But at the same time, we need to continue to invest in growth businesses. So we're going to make these investments efficiently in connection with and in consideration of five G network investment.

Conjuncture Capex will soon it is no longer in there, which I'm going on particular, liquorice drunkards, who they talk to their health care, sometimes have it done.

So you have taken to depending on how you're thinking about Dunkin' donuts until they can kick us came over in July .

And that's going to sort of take a huge undertaking.

And as far as like apex trend and outlook in the medium term our position is the same until the nationwide fiber network is completed we will have to continue to invest in that network expansion and at the same time, we're going to invest in growth businesses and through efficient execution and management will be able.

To stabilize the capex trend in the medium term.

You're talking about.

Thank you.

That comes out of it on their own crews I'm sorry to jump in if you touch on bone comes out of a synthetic rutile.

He's done with all the changes you've been you won't get still get the unconfirmed school room will do about your total meter sometime ago.
