Hyundai Home Shopping is expanding into the mobile communications market through a partnership with LG HelloVision’s Hello Mobile. The companies launched a new “Hyundai Home Shopping USIM plan” on March 15th. This marks Hyundai Home Shopping’s entry into the competitive mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) sector, commonly known as the “al뜰폰” (affordable phone) market in Korea. The new plan leverages Hello Mobile’s network infrastructure. Details regarding pricing and specific plan features were not immediately available in the initial announcement. This collaboration aims to offer consumers more choices and potentially lower costs for mobile services. The launch signifies Hyundai Home Shopping’s diversification beyond its traditional home shopping business.
