SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus pledge price cuts in South Korea

Source: telecomsApril 9, 2026
TL;DR:
  • SK Telecom, KT Corp, and LG Uplus issued a joint declaration to restore trust in South Korea's telecom sector.
  • The operators said they plan to cut prices as part of the declaration.
  • The announcement follows reputational damage facing the South Korean mobile industry.

SK Telecom, KT Corp, and LG Uplus issued a joint declaration to restore trust in South Korea's telecom sector, according to a Telecoms.com report. The declaration sets out a plan that includes price cuts and measures aimed at addressing damage to the industry's reputation.

Telecoms.com identified the three operators by name: SK Telecom (SKT), KT Corp, and LG Uplus. The source excerpt does not specify the size of the price cuts, the timing of the changes, or which mobile services the operators will include.

South Korea's three national mobile operators rarely issue joint declarations, so the move is notable in the context of carrier policy and consumer pricing. For the eSIM market, actions by SK Telecom, KT Corp, and LG Uplus matter because these operators shape mobile plan pricing and digital SIM adoption in South Korea, but the source does not provide eSIM-specific measures.
