Up to Three Applications Per Person Allowed

On June 7, SK Telecom announced that it is launching the "Gold Number Promotion" to find the owners of 10,000 gold numbers.

A gold number refers to a number with a certain pattern, such as 1111, 0002, or 3000; a number identical to the area code; or a number with a special meaning, such as 1004.
