SK Telecom will start distributing a Pokemon 30th anniversary 'Magikarp promo card' from July 7 at 520 T World stores nationwide and at T Factory.
The Magikarp promo card will be provided to all about 110,000 people who took part in Pokemon Korea's 'Pokemon Run Online Challenge' held throughout June and completed a 1 km running mission. The challenge was held online so Pokemon fans nationwide could enjoy the Pokemon 30th anniversary together.
SKT, which has T World stores nationwide, has taken on the role of distributing the challenge reward, the Magikarp promo card. SKT will use an online reservation system so visitors can pick up the reward conveniently without confusion.
Eligible recipients can use a link provided in advance by text message to select a designated T World store or T Factory in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, as the pickup location and book a visit date. SKT will accept reservations for about 2 months through Aug. 31.
T Factory in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, will also present a 'Pokemon Mini Forest' space. The 'Pokemon Mini Forest', which will run through Aug. 31, lets visitors take photos with sculptures of Pikachu and other representative characters and enjoy the Pokemon universe.
Goo Hyun-cheol (구현철), head of SKT's Sales & Marketing Division, said, "We will continue to make T World an enjoyable space through promotions that offer customers a different kind of fun."
