Both SK networks president and chief executive officer, Park Sang Kyu, and Com2Verse’s president and CEO, Lee Kyoung Il were present through their avatars in the virtual auditorium during the signing event.
The Korea Herald reported that the MOU will allow the SK Group-affiliated multinational corporation to set up business areas of its headquarters and subsidiaries in Com2Verse’s metaverse platform.
