What will Sua do?
For the company’s A. (pronounced as A dot) AI assistance platform, Sua – the lady robot will make its debut as an SK Telecom model in commercials. The A. is SK Telecom’s content streaming platform that operates around 10 channels for movies, drama series, sports programs and others.
According to SK Telecom, Sua is the first-ever virtual human to be adopted as a product endorsement model in the country’s telecom industry. The lady robot will appear alongside K-pop singer Jang Won-young in A.’s latest promotional campaign material.
