The board of SK Telecom Co., the biggest shareholder of Wavve, approved an additional 100 billion won worth of rights offering for the OTT platform's expansion plans.
According to a Wavve official, they are aiming to elevate Korean media platforms' competitiveness through aggressive investments.
Wavve is also hoping to position itself as a global OTT service provider.
