KT will open 'K-live X VR PARK' in Sangam, Seoul, which applies various immersive media technologies such as holograms, AR, and VR at the Digital Pavilion in Nuri Dream Square.
Sangam 'K-live X VR PARK' (hereinafter referred to as Sangam K-live X) is a realistic media complex experience space built and operated by KT, VR content specialist Barunson, and HoloTive Global, which has experience operating K-live Sentosa, with space support within the 'Korea VR/AR Complex (KoVAC)' established by the Ministry of Science and ICT/National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) to foster a VR/AR industry ecosystem.
The Sangam K-Live X space is largely composed of ▲ a 'hologram theater (K-Live)' that screens MapleStory/Science Show/JYP content, ▲ a VR experience zone (VR Park) where you can experience a total of 12 types of cube-shaped and simulation-type VR devices, ▲ other attraction zones such as a media guestbook, AR sandbox, and star photo. Its unique feature is that you can experience the latest realistic media services based on VR, AR, and hologram technology all in one place.
To celebrate the opening of Sangam K-Live X, the hologram theater will first present a new hologram concert by the popular K-Pop group CNBLUE. Using holographic technology, CNBLUE's hits "Cinderella" and "Can't Stop" are reimagined as a time-transcending fantasy in a highly immersive viewing environment. The show can also be found at "K-live Songdo," located on the 4th floor of Songdo Triple Street Mall.
"AR Basketball," which expands immersive media into the sports realm, will also be showcased. By augmenting the walls and floor of a hologram theater with virtual images, the space resembles a basketball court. Throwing a ball into the hoop uses laser sensors to detect its trajectory and score points, allowing users to enjoy real basketball games, training, and throwing in a virtual environment.
At the opening ceremony on the 22nd, KT will present a hologram performance expressing the history of Korean telecommunications and the future of immersive media technology based on 5G. In addition, we will sign a 'Business Agreement for the Development of the VR Game Industry' with the Ministry of Science and ICT, NIPA, etc., and participate as a sponsor of the '2017 VR Game Competition', the first VR game competition in Korea hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
KT Future Business Development Division Director Go Yoon-jeon said, “Based on the service experience and ecosystem strengthening efforts KT has accumulated so far, we will contribute to strengthening the ecosystem through cooperation with various small and medium-sized companies based on a realistic media complex platform along with next-generation media businesses that encompass not only holograms but also VR, AR, and other realistic media.”
Sangam 'K-live X' will hold an opening event from December 22, 2017 to January 7, 2018, offering a 50% discount on the integrated package of K-live performances and VR experiences for visiting customers.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
