    Notice the Daily Life into the Big Wall Graphic


    The image contest of single round towards hegemony
    Whoever has sung 'I really wish to be appeared on television', the measure is absolutely full of boast. Anyway I feel guilty to make cynical remarks about its innocence of children but I raise doubts why it has been changed from a children's song to a wish song with not 'like' but a sad song with 'want' even though they sang well and were pretty in actually.
    But We not only would recover the heart of child, but also get a chance to make sprout of narcism as long as we change the lyrics. Now we should change the lyrics to "I really feel good that I'm appeared on the LCD screen" if we considered having knowledge of electron and recharging confidence in a hundred times.
    Recently, it's all go that the LCD screen of mobile phones hooks up the world with not inferior speed to televisions in actually. It is the third generation of mobile communication, alias 3 generation that it can make us to use movies in real time, such as music videos, news, etc. is proud of transmission speed, the least 128Kbps, maximum 2Mbps whereas the existing second generation mobile communication has its limit rate and capacity whenever its users send SMS. In addition, wide use communication is one of the most typical strong points of the third generation mobile communication.
    The process of the existing tele-communicating corporations which have been decorating the street with funny daily life to hold sway over the third generation mobile communication. The war among the tele-communicating corporations is severer than ever, that has newly opened image communication era ahead.

    Wrapping the headquarters and transportations

SK telecom highlighted to take the initiative in the industry as its privilege and performed prints disguised the situation of real image communication outdoors the daily life of people in actually, they become main character and people send their daily life into display of mobile phones.
    In the bus towards promise spot, in the elevator of the movie theater, and leaning on the window of the subway for commuting, we openly have been occupied one of the main characters. Anyone, watching for them, is interested in them. We can meet ordinary people anywhere who are trivial and look vacantly. That is the thing showing once, twice and again and again.
    It is unexpectedly surprising power of outdoor ad even though mostly it is progressed with replacement of material except something, 55 bus ads operated by Seoul Shinmun, the exposed elevator of a building, each carriage of Line No. 1 to 4 subway, pillar ads and screen door ads in subway stations, and bus shelters on bus lane etc. It has launched only a month but the citizens responded to the direct message so I felt it already has begun the image communication. And, on 14th March, it sets up the wall graphic ad, which measures a 28.1 by 45m of a mobile phone on SK headquarters imitated a mobile phone.
    It is said that it successfully appealed to many citizens who visited Myeongdong that it broadcasted a variety of images in deed, like TV advertising images, UCC movies through the LCD. The secret was that the LCD was a screen made by a white one-way film being presented to beam from the roof of the Hana Bank on the opposed side of the headquarters of SK Telecom. It was originally planned to express liquid crystal such as the other ads, which the design company, Kkotppom, had designed but afterwards, its plan was changed to use white considering the event. AD Works had producted the wall graphic ad for four days both by day and by night.
    Hyung-kyung Cho, in charge of planning this advertising, assistant manager in TBWA Korea said, "Except the progressing ad, we are planning and deliberating on the observation elevator and the aquarium of the 63 Building. At least, we will keep on the way existing until the end of April with 'Live on 3G+".
