SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus, the three mobile carriers, said on the 31st they will run a campaign titled "One QR, double the peace of mind!" to encourage use of the ID QR verification feature on the mobile authentication platform PASS.
As cases of forging and altering IDs using apps disguised as mobile ID screens or manipulated images have increased, the three carriers launched the campaign to supplement the limitation of verifying IDs on site only by visual inspection.
The campaign runs from today through Oct. 5, with all three carriers participating jointly. During this period, those who verify another person's ID using the QR authentication feature in the PASS app, or customers who use their own PASS ID QR, can enter a giveaway through the event page.
The three carriers will award prizes to a total of 2,076 entrants selected by drawing: ▲ Galaxy Z Fold 8 512GB (2 winners) ▲ Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x Multi‑styler & Dryer (2) ▲ Ray‑Ban Meta smart glasses (2) ▲ Golden Olive Chicken + 1.25L cola (70) ▲ MEGA MGC COFFEE iced Americano (2,000).
The three carriers said, "We hope this campaign helps establish a culture of confirming identity via QR verification without concerns over forged or altered IDs."
