5G services will be available on all subways across Korea within this year.

Korea's three major telecoms -- SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus -- said on Friday that they have joined forces to provide 5G coverage in all subway stations and trains.

The 5G network already covers all subway stations in Gwangju. They plan to extend coverage to Busan, Daejeon and Daegu by March and to Seoul and its surrounding regions by the end of the year.
