SEOUL, South Korea: #3D--LG Uplus (KRX:032640), one of the top three telecom carriers in South Korea, announced that its children’s platform, ‘KidsTopia,’ has received the Science and ICT Minister’s Award at the 2024 Metaverse Alliance and Self-Regulation Achievement Sharing Conference.
Hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) of Republic of Korea, the conference brings together experts from industry, academia, research, and government to discuss achievements and honor outstanding companies and projects that contribute to the growth of the metaverse ecosystem. This year’s event took place on December 11 at the Seoul Dragon City Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
KidsTopia earned the Minister’s Award in recognition of its exceptional performance in such areas as User Protection, User-to-User Interaction and Collaboration, and Authenticity for Users.
KidsTopia is a platform where children can explore and learn about diverse subjects including foreign languages, animals, dinosaurs, and space through engaging 3D virtual experiences with AI-powered characters. Key to its success are child-friendly graphics and the ability to hold multilingual conversations with characters—powered by ixi, LG Uplus’s proprietary AI technology.
This unique combination of technology and educational value has propelled KidsTopia’s popularity not only in Korea, but also across Southeast Asia. As of December 2024, the platform has exceeded 900,000 cumulative subscribers across the globe. It is an impressive feat, considering that the platform reached this milestone in just one year and seven months since its launch.
In addition to the MSIT recognition, KidsTopia was recently awarded the ‘Gold Medal’— the highest honor in the application category at the ‘2024 Mom’s Choice Awards,’ a globally renowned certification program for child-appropriate products, on December 4.
'Mom’s Choice' is an international certification organization that evaluates and recognizes outstanding products based on the overall assessment of their quality, educational value, and originality. Its judging panel includes not only education and media professionals, but also parents, and children.
The significance of this recognition from the Mom’s Choice Awards lies in the inclusion of parents—the primary decision-makers in purchasing children’s services—alongside education experts in the evaluation process. This collaboration between parents and experts enhances the certification’s credibility, establishing it as a benchmark for child-friendly products trusted by families worldwide.
Kim Min-gu, head of LG Uplus’s Metaverse Project, said, “We are immensely proud that our efforts to create a platform that is both enjoyable and beneficial for children have been recognized through these prestigious awards, both domestically and globally. LG Uplus will continue its efforts to advance KidsTopia as a premier global children’s platform, driven by its confidence and commitment to education, entertainment, and safety.”
