Hello everyone. My name is [Min Won Lee], and I lead the Business Support Division here at Soop. After I provide an overview of our fourth quarter 2025 operational and financial highlights. Our CEO, Yeong Wu Choi and I will host a Q&A session to answer your questions. (Operator Instructions)
Although platform revenue was relatively flat this quarter, we saw significant momentum in our advertising sector, thanks to subsidiaries synergies and active BTL engagement. Notably, our strategic focus on gaming content continues to pay off as evidenced by the steady rise in user engagement and viewing traffic across the platform.
We are currently driving a company-wide integration of our global and Korea platforms. By the first quarter or the second quarter at the latest, we expect to unveil a unified Global One platform where domestic and international streamers and users can interact freely. This will serve as a pivotal momentum for our qualitative leap in platform revenue and our broader global expansion.
Our fourth quarter revenue reached KRW119.3
