Seoul, Korea, June 19, 2012 — SK Planet today announced that its Smart Wallet, Korea’s largest mobile wallet service joined
hands with Skypass, Korean Air’s membership program to enable users to accumulate and keep track of miles with a mobile
loyalty card.  
 
Under the partnership, Smart Wallet subscribers will have access to their frequent flyer accounts where they can accumulate
miles and check balances with their smart devices. The alliance between the largest airliner’s loyalty program in Korea and
a leading mobile service that topped 5 million subscribers last month is expected to enhance customer convenience
in managing airline miles.

Skypass membership benefits without having to carry plastic loyalty cards. Non-members can also join by completing
a simple sign-up process.

SK Planet’s Head of Commerce Business Unit. “Thanks to the partnership, many Korean Air customers will get to enjoy
the convenience that Smart Wallet brings.”
