Overview
ONE store was born by consolidating the app stores of the three biggest telcos (SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus) and the biggest internet company (Naver) in Korea. To achieve universal availability on mobile devices, the storefront is preinstalled on every Android handset provided by all three major local telecoms and reaches more than 90% of Korea’s mobile users.
Through ONE store, your game is able to connect with 55M users and 210K monthly paying gamers including high ARPPU ($250/month). Developers will get 80% of the in-app purchase revenue share by default, and we allow any 3rd-party payment method to developers.
ONE store uses various discount schemes
(telecom membership discount, daily coupons, etc.)
to encourage users to enjoy games and provides almost all
types of local payment methods, including Culture Cash and OK Cashbag.
ONE store occupies 40% market share of the top 100 game titles selling
among major markets in Korea, on average. Also,
by selling in ONE store, 20% to 27% of incremental
revenue and profit can be generated respectively.
