Meanwhile, SK Telecom will create a metaverse-based campus that encompasses both the real and virtual worlds at Korea University using its ICT technology and the metaverse platform ‘ifland’. The first application of the metaverse will be the 'Koyeonjeon' (Korea University vs. Yonsei University sports event), which was canceled last year due to the impact of COVID-19. Additionally, SK Telecom will issue various IDs integrated through a blockchain-based initial application and establish an ‘IoT Open House’ at Korea University’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation to support startups through the entrepreneurship stage.
