The company targets its new offerings predominantly toward the eSports universe "to offer a more realistic and immersive experience when watching [eSports games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agora-1)." There is a total of three new services to be deployed in the 5G environment — this includes 'Jump AR,' 'LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) VR Live Broadcasting,' and 'VR Replay.' Being 5G-powered guarantees that the services will have a good operational capacity and will be able to offer a hyper-immersive experience for the consumers who will be able to navigate the digital spaces with ease. South Korean companies like SK Telecom are truly staying ahead of the curb when it comes to the new network. The business is even planning to create a 5G-powered Stadium to offer even greater entertainment.
