LG Uplus offers about 10,000 products at prices discounted up to 94% compared to the regular price and has made shipping fees for purchased products completely free. This time, by advancing AI-based data analysis and utilization technology, it has greatly improved the accuracy of sales quantity predictions for products listed on U+Kok based on customer data, proposing reasonable minimum sales prices to vendors.

The larger the target customer base, the higher the expected sales quantity, allowing prices to be lowered further.



Kim Tae-hoon, Head of LG Uplus Advertising Business Division (Senior Vice President), said, “U+Kok is a service one step ahead of the group purchase concept where prices drop as more customers gather,” adding, “Since over 95% of the products are from small and medium-sized enterprises, we will continue to practice co-growth with vendors while securing operational capabilities for the online marketplace to provide tangible benefits to customers.”
