KT CEO to Pitch AI and AX Growth Strategy at Daishin Securities Corporate Day

Daishin Securities will put KT’s chief executive and senior management directly in front of institutional investors on August 12, hosting a corporate day at the Conrad hotel in Seoul’s Yeouido financial district where the telecom group is set to lay out its artificial intelligence and AI-transformation (AX) growth strategy.

A Chief Executive on the Brokerage Stage

Corporate days are a fixture of Korean equity research: a brokerage books a venue, invites a listed company, and gives fund managers and analysts a stretch of direct access that quarterly earnings calls rarely allow. Most of these sessions are run by investor-relations staff. The August 12 event stands out because KT is fielding its top executive along with key members of the management team — putting the company’s most senior decision-maker personally on record about where its next phase of growth is supposed to come from.

For Daishin Securities, listed in Seoul under ticker 003540, landing a CEO-level presenter from one of the country’s largest telecom groups is also a statement in its own right. Corporate access — the ability to connect clients with company leadership — is one of the quieter fronts on which Korean brokerages compete, and a marquee guest at a Yeouido venue is a visible way to press that advantage.

From Korea Telecom to an AI Pitch

KT built its business on connectivity, tracing its roots to the former national carrier Korea Telecom. The strategy its leadership plans to present centers on something different: AI and AX, the industry shorthand for AI transformation — embedding artificial intelligence into enterprise operations, infrastructure, and services rather than treating it as a standalone product line. That framing matters for how investors value the company, because it asks the market to price KT as a technology growth story rather than a mature utility-like telecom.

The Questions Waiting in Yeouido

The format invites scrutiny as much as storytelling. The obvious lines of questioning for a session like this are concrete: how AI-related businesses translate into revenue, what the investment required to build them will cost, and on what timeline those bets are expected to pay off. A presentation delivered by the CEO, rather than an IR team working from a script, gives attendees a chance to press on those points at the top of the house — and gives KT’s answers correspondingly more weight.
