KT operates extensively in South Korea and internationally through subsidiaries and global partnerships, targeting consumers, businesses, and government agencies.

Recent major developments include a strategic five-year partnership with Microsoft announced in September 2024 to accelerate AI innovation and support business digital transformation in Korea through a new AI-specialized service company. Additionally, KT signed a Memorandum of Understanding with DigitalBridge Group in late 2025 to jointly develop next-generation AI data centers in South Korea, aimed at large-scale infrastructure investment. The company also established a strategic partnership with U.S. AI startup CrewAI for AI agent platform collaboration. These moves mark KT's strategic expansion into AI infrastructure and cloud-based digital transformation services while maintaining its leadership in telecommunications.
