Yanolja's "Hey, Seogwipo" to Apply Giga Genie to Haedong
| Giga Genie service will be expanded to Yanolja hotels in the future.
| The two companies are accelerating cooperation to build an AI accommodation platform.

KT announced on March 28 that it has applied Korea's first hotel-only AI service, 'Giga Genie Hotel,' to Yanolja's lifestyle hotel 'Hey, Seogwipo.'
Giga Genie Hotel is an infotainment system that utilizes KT's voice recognition technology to provide easy and convenient access to various hotel services from the comfort of your room. Using the Giga Genie Hotel terminal, guests can conveniently control lighting, listen to music, request room amenities, and check hotel facility information 24/7 using their voice.

KT and Yanolja introduced the Giga Genie Hotel service on two floors of the Hae (海) building of "Hey, Seogwipo," which opened on March 18th. Starting with the Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun, which was the first in Korea in July of last year, KT has been providing the "Giga Genie Hotel" service, which integrates KT's AI technology, to approximately 700 rooms in six hotels, including L'Escape, Grand Ambassador Pullman Residences, and Busan Baymond.

Yanolja and KT signed a business agreement to build an AI accommodation platform in August last year. The two companies plan to expand their collaboration through the integration of the Giga Genie hotel system and explore new business opportunities. Furthermore, KT and Yanolja plan to implement Giga Genie hotel technology at Yanolja's franchise hotels, starting with "Hey, Seogwipo."

Kim Chae-hee, executive director of KT's AI business division, said, "We will continue to work together to create new experiences for customers by combining Yanolja's leisure platform and KT's cutting-edge technology."
