[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Cyworld, which will resume service in May, has secured a database (DB) of 18 billion member records and will refund approximately 3.5 billion won worth of 'Dotori' (acorns).


On the 19th, CyworldZ announced that it had signed an agreement with SK Comms regarding the transfer of service data. CyworldZ plans to actively restore Cyworld Minihompy.


CyworldZ opened the Cyworld servers stored at the SKT IDC center and confirmed that the database of 18 billion records belonging to 32 million members was preserved intact, including 17 billion photos, 510 million music files, and 150 million videos.


Previously, Cyworld had been unable to access the servers at the IDC center for 1 year and 5 months due to unpaid fees with SK Comms.


CyworldZ stated, "With the agreement with SK Comms, access to Cyworld is expected to be possible soon," adding, "Various functions such as 'Find ID' will be launched."


CyworldZ will also proceed with Dotori refunds. SK Comms had stored Dotori worth 3.5 billion won accumulated over the past 10 years, and CyworldZ decided to refund customers in line with the launch of the Cyworld mobile service.



Earlier, the newly established company CyworldZ paid 1 billion won to settle unpaid wages and acquired the service operation rights from Jeon Je-wan, the CEO of Cyworld. CyworldZ is a corporation established by listed companies Intromedic and Sky ENM, among others.
