“Dong” is Korea’s address classification system.
Quotation for contact center services may vary depending on the type of business (inbound, outbound) and<br>industry (government agencies, general enterprises), and it cannot be considered as a single-task service due to the nature of the work. Therefore, the calculation of an average price would not be meaningful. For further detail, please refer to the<br>following.
---
(2)	Reasons for Price Fluctuation
---	---
①	Contact Center Outsourcing:
---	---

The outsourcing cost includes direct and indirect labor costs, management costs, and profits. Among them, labor costs account for approximately 85-90% (depending on the client), the largest proportion. The quotation (price) is usually calculated based on the cost per person /month, and it may also be calculated based on PPC (Pay Per Call) depending on the number of responses or processed cases. Since contact centers cannot be regarded as a single-task service due to the nature of the work, the calculation of an average price would not be meaningful. For total outsourcing contact centers, the cost of supporting system management and operation for the leased facilities is added to the calculation. For leased facilities, the unit cost is calculated based on the depreciation expense under the fixed asset method.

②	114 Directory Service:

History of fee increases for 114 directory service is as follows (Unit: KRW)

	2021.2.1	2016.12.01	2003.11.01	2002.05.01
Price	Price increase<br> <br>(Daytime 170, Night/Holidays<br>190),<br> <br>Additional Service increase<br> <br>(Direct connection 110,<br>indirect connection 80)	Saturday mornings: Weekday rates no longer apply	Price increase<br> <br>(Daytime 120,<br>Night/Holidays 140),	Price increase (80g100, 3 free monthly calls terminated)
Free 114 Directory Assistance provided until 1996 has become paid service from 1997, as a cost recovery<br>measure.
---
③	Priority Number Directory Assistance
---	---

The following are the changes to the priority number directory assistance fees since March 1, 2022 (Unit: KRW)

Service	Details	Before	After 22.3.1
			StandardIndustry (1)	BudgetIndustry (2)
Priority Number Guide Service for Dong (Eup, Myeon*)	Provides priority number guide service to registered district areas	30,000/month	40,000/month	10,000/month
Priority Number Guide Service for Gu (Gun*)	Provides priority number guide service to registered district areas	40,000/month	50,000/month	15,000/month
Priority Number Guide Service for Cities (Metropolitan/Non-metropolitan)	Provides priority number guide service to registered district areas	50,000/month	60,000/month	20,000/month
*	Dong, Gu, Eup, Myeon, and Gun and are types of Korea’s address classification system<br>
---	---

Fee exceptions: Standard industry fees for customers with a membership history within one year of the fee<br>change date (March 1, 2022) are based on the previous fees. However, if the service is re-subscribed after one year of termination, new fees will apply.
Budget industry: Designated and operated for unpopular industries with no membership history within one year of<br>the fee change.

Priority Number Directory Assistance		Dong		33,000		31,000		30,000		27,000
The sign-up fee for the Priority Number Information Service is divided<br>into groups based on the service area and industry. Each area is divided into “city”, “district”, and “neighborhood” units, and the industry groups are divided into<br>1^st^ group (moving centers, rental cars, etc.), 2^nd^ group (flower shops/delivery, water purifier sales, etc.), 3^rd^ group (quick delivery, key repair, etc.), and 4^th^ group (industries outside of the 1^st^ to 3^rd^ groups) in order of high usage rates.
---
The pricing of the Priority Number Directory Assistance has not undergone any price changes in the last 3<br>years.
---
(3)	Other contact center (outsourcing) businesses besides those mentioned above are difficult to view as single<br>services due to their job characteristics, and pricing in the distribution business tends to be determined according to the policies of KT and terminal manufacturers, making it difficult to derive meaningful figures through average pricing<br>calculations.
