On January 28, independent research firm ValueFinder projected that UNN Telecom is likely to benefit from heightened expectations following the establishment of the Basic Social Committee, which will be chaired by the President. UNN Telecom operates the digital platform "Tomonote."


Founded in 1999, UNN Telecom was listed on the KOSPI market in 2003. The company primarily operates Korea's first eSIM roaming service and an edutech smart learning business targeting young children. Leveraging its telecommunications solution development capabilities accumulated over 20 years, UNN Telecom has also developed and supplied core telecom solutions. Despite some volatility in the industry, the company has been consistently developing AI integration to respond to market changes.


Lee Chungheon, a researcher at ValueFinder, stated, "Beyond the edutech business, UNN Telecom deserves attention due to the rapid growth of its eSIM roaming service, the first of its kind in Korea," adding, "This growth appears to be driven by the normalization of Korea-China relations, the weak Japanese yen, and aggressive fare promotions by airlines."


UNN Telecom has launched the eSIM roaming service "Roaming Dokkaebi," securing a leading position in this market. Compared to the roaming service prices of the three major telecom companies, it offers a more affordable rate, and its automatic connection to local networks ensures there are no issues such as speed degradation, which is a key strength of the service.


Lee further explained, "UNN Telecom is providing digital smart learning education services through the 'Tomonote' platform," and added, "In the segment targeting educational institutions, the company currently holds about a 15% market share and is recognized as the industry leader."


This smart learning division recorded a robust average annual growth rate of 34% over the past three years. As a result of this growth, the cumulative sales for the third quarter of last year reached 46.6 billion won, up approximately 30% from the same period the previous year, and operating profit turned positive at 3.1 billion won.



He added, "If the effects of the business structure improvement continue into 2026, a revaluation of the company's value is expected."
