The board visited KT Cloud’s Mokdong 2 Data Center (DC) and the KT Hyehwa Central Office in succession the previous day. They plan to faithfully fulfill their oversight and support duties through continuous infrastructure inspections.

The board first visited the 'AI Innovation Center' at Mokdong 2 DC to check core AIDC technologies, including the latest AI servers with graphics processing units (GPUs), AI-dedicated network technology, and next-generation cooling and power technologies embodying KT Cloud’s unique operational know-how.

At the KT Hyehwa Central Office, they inspected key facilities such as the international telecommunications room, the Internet protocol (IP) backbone operations center, and the main telecommunications conduit. They assessed the stable management system for the national telecommunications network, as well as the current status of domestic and international internet networks and mobile core network operations.

Yongheon Kim, chair of KT's board of directors, stated, "KT ensures the stable operation of the national telecommunications network 24 hours a day, even during moments that go unnoticed by the public, serving as the backbone of Korea's digital infrastructure. The operational know-how and technical expertise KT has accumulated over many years is our unique competitive edge and is central to realizing an AI transformation (AX) platform company." He added, "The board will continue to check the competitiveness of our infrastructure and ensure that the company's growth strategy is carried out without disruption."
