SK Telecom is running a large-scale campaign offering various dining experiences and 'Pokemon card' benefits.

SKT said on June 7 it will start online and offline promotions from June 8 for customers at T World stores nationwide and the T Direct Shop, as well as Pokemon fans.

SKT is running a "Special Invitation to Dining" promotion for customers who buy the latest Galaxy smartphones at T World stores nationwide and its online direct mall T Direct Shop. From June 8 to 30, it will draw 750 customers who purchase and activate the Galaxy S26 series, Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 or Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. Winners will receive meal vouchers worth 100,000 won for leading local restaurants.

SKT selected 10 restaurants across seven regions nationwide, including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Cheonan, Gwangju and Jeonju. In Seoul and the wider capital area, the list includes Rebookbang, run by chef Ji-hyung Choi (최지형) and specialising in North Korean cuisine dining, and Dipin Oksu, known for fresh pasta. In Busan, it selected the Korean dining omakase Mirak Super and Chaoran located at the Signiel hotel.

In Daegu, the participating restaurants include fine-dining venues Yongjibong Korean Dining Ryun and 12KITCHEN. In the Chungcheong region, they include Daejeon pork omakase Doemakase OCD and Cheonan beef dining Urimium. In Jeolla, the list includes Gwangju French restaurant Alain and Jeonju Korean beef omakase specialty restaurant Mongyeondam.

For customers who want dining experiences in regions outside the selected restaurants, SKT will also offer Catch Table app points worth 100,000 won that can be used nationwide as prizes.

Customers who buy the latest Galaxy smartphones can also receive Samsung Electronics Thank You Festival benefits. From June 8 to July 5, customers who purchase a Samsung Electronics smartphone and complete activation can receive Digital Onnuri gift certificates ranging from 40,000 won to 550,000 won depending on the retail price.

SKT is also running a Pokemon Run Online Challenge with Pokemon Korea, offering a Pokemon 30th anniversary commemorative "Magikarp promo card". Participants can apply for the challenge on the RunDay running app during June, complete 1 km and enter the reward draw. Anyone can take part regardless of their mobile carrier.

Winners can reserve a visit from July 7 to receive the limited-edition Magikarp card at T Factory in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, and designated T World stores nationwide. Card distribution will run for about two months, until Aug. 31.

Ku Hyun-chul (구현철), head of sales and marketing at SKT, said the large-scale promotion is part of efforts to provide timely benefits to customers who have supported the company. He said SKT will continue to develop T World stores nationwide into spaces that add benefits and value to customers' daily lives.
