Compliance Program

Our internal compliance system
protects customers with
telecommunications

In May 2016, the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) declared to introduce a self-compliance program.
It was a shift to ‘Market Self-Regulation’ from ‘Sanctions through Investigation,’ aiming to encourage service providers to voluntarily comply with the laws and regulations.
The KCC also adopted the benefit of offering exemption on charges (up to 10%) to those with excellent program outcomes.

We believe that the company's true competitiveness is to voluntarily comply with the laws, create an environment for fair competition, and protect customers' rights. Thus, we have not only offered regular training to our employees but also practiced them according to our codes of ethics. In the future, we will remain a reliable and trustworthy company that always puts customers first while running a compliance program based on the government's guidelines and the company's internal codes of ethics.
