Key Metrics
The numbers for our key metrics, which include our period active users (PAU), period paying users (PPU), average membership and top-up streaming service revenue per active user (ARPU), and average membership and top-up streaming service revenue per paying user (ARPPU), are calculated using internal company data based on the activity of user accounts. We define an active user as a user who has downloaded and opened the FlexTV app at least once. We define a paying user as a user who has registered for a membership or has topped up, provided a method of payment, and is entitled to access FlexTV services (this membership or topping up does not include participation in free trials or other promotional offers extended by FlexTV to new users). We define ARPU as average membership and top-up streaming services revenue generated by each active user in one quarter. We define ARPPU as average membership and top-up streaming services revenue generated by each paying user in one quarter. We use these metrics to assess the growth and health of the overall business and believe that ARPU best reflects our ability to attract, retain, engage and monetize our users, and thereby drive revenue. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage of our products across large online and mobile populations around the world. In addition, we are continually seeking to improve our estimates of our user base, and such estimates may change due to improvements or changes in technology or our methodology.

SEOUL, South Korea, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Korea Zinc (KRX:010130) announced on March 28 that it has successfully concluded its annual general meeting (AGM), with the current management retaining board control in contention against MBK and Young Poong.
Korea Zinc’s 51st AGM was held at Yongsan, Seoul. The participants in the meeting demonstrated strong support for the current management, underscoring the outstanding business performance and shareholder returns Korea Zinc has managed to continuously deliver upon.
Korea Zinc employees, key technical staff, labor unions, partner companies, and civil society groups in Ulsan have consistently voiced firm support for the current management. Public sentiment on assisting the current management had also grown rapidly, particularly due to the recent developments in Homeplus abruptly filing for corporate rehabilitation which drew close parallels to Korea Zinc’s situation.
On the day of the AGM, Korea Zinc labor union members traveled from Ulsan to Seoul to stand in solidarity with the current management of Korea Zinc. Of particular note, the labor union of Homeplus also staged a protest in front of the venue, issuing warnings on the potential dangers of private equity firms.
Inside the AGM venue, many shareholders called for measures to protect the company from potential destabilization from outside influence. These concerns were able to gain traction as Korea Zinc is a core national industry that plays a vital role in resource security and the global strategic mineral supply chain.
Board Size Capped at 19, Enhancing Efficiency and Stability At the AGM, Korea Zinc approved its consolidated and separate financial statements for the 51st fiscal year (2024). Shareholders also approved a cash dividend of KRW 7,500 per common share and resolved to transfer KRW 1.6689 trillion from discretionary reserves to retained earnings.
Additionally, five amendments to the company’s articles of incorporation were addressed, including a cap on the number of board directors. Four key proposals were passed:
Capping the number of directors at 19
Appointing an outside director as board chair
Changing the dividend record date
Introducing quarterly dividends
The proposal to set a maximum of 19 board members was approved with over 70% support from voting shareholders. This move is expected to improve board stability and prevent inefficiencies in corporate decision-making. Leading global proxy advisory firms, including ISS, Glass Lewis, and Sustinvest, had previously unanimously recommended limiting board size to an appropriate level, aligning Korea Zinc’s governance with global standards.
The proposal to appoint an outside director as board chair also gained strong shareholder support. This shift is expected to enhance governance independence and strengthen oversight, as an external director free from controlling shareholder influence will now preside over the board.
The introduction of quarterly dividends and the adjustment of the dividend record date mark another significant change. These measures will enhance dividend predictability and lay the groundwork for increasing corporate value.
Directors Appointed via Cumulative Voting for the First Time, Strengthening Compliance with Audit Committee Appointments
A vote over the agenda of appointing directors was also conducted at the AGM. Following the approval of an amendment to the articles of association, which set a cap on the number of directors, the agenda to appoint 8 directors through a cumulative voting system was presented, based on the new limit of 19 total directors. The cumulative voting system, adopted at the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting (EGM) in January, grants shareholders voting rights proportional to the number of directors being elected per share, focusing on enhancing the rights of minority shareholders and increasing the diversity of the board.
Consequently, 5 out of 8 director candidates recommended by Korea Zinc were appointed. The new board members include an internal director, CEO Park Ki-Deok, and external directors including Kwon Soon-beom (Managing Partner, Law Firm Sol), Kim Bo-young (Professor, Hanyang University Business School), James Andrew Murphy (Senior Advisor, Oliver Wyman), and Tammy Chung (Dean, Myongji University Business School).
The newly appointed members of the Audit Committee include Kwon Soon-beom (Managing Partner, Law Firm Sol), Lee Min-ho (Head of ESG Research Center, Yulchon Law Firm), and Seo Dae-won (Chairman, BnH Tax Corporation). It is expected that both Kwon and Lee will contribute to strengthening the board’s compliance management system based on their extensive experiences in the legal field. Additionally, Seo is expected to provide advice on corporate taxation and capital transactions, helping to enhance accounting transparency with his background in roles such as Planning and Coordination Director at the National Tax Service, Director of Corporate Taxation, and Deputy Director.
A representative from Korea Zinc stated, “Many shareholders and citizens have strongly agreed that we must protect Korea Zinc, a key national industry, from takeover threats,” and added, “We will continue to support South Korea’s resource security and play a central role in the global strategic minerals supply chain, while doing our best to meet the expectations of shareholders and citizens.”
In an effort to achieve a target of 80% of patients controlling the three highs and protecting kidney health within eight years, Taiwan leads the international trend of precise prevention with public-private collaboration in response to the new health goals of Healthy Taiwan.
TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 March 2025 – As the global aging process accelerates, the prevention and care of chronic diseases have become a top priority for countries worldwide. The Taiwanese government has actively responded to international trends by promoting the “Healthy Taiwan” policy and launching the “Three Highs Prevention 888 Plan.” At the third “Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee” meeting held last month, new goals were announced to reduce the standardized mortality rate of chronic diseases related to the three highs by one-third by 2030, aiming to strengthen chronic disease prevention and control measures through public-private collaboration. In alignment with the vision of “Healthy Taiwan” and the 888 Plan, and connecting with the international trend of “precision prevention” of chronic disease management, the Taiwan Diabetes Association formally presented the “T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration” at the Asia Diabetes International Conference.
Figure 1: Group photo of the T-CaReME Taipei Declaration, from left to right are: Vice Chairman Li Wen-Ling, Secretary-General Hsu Yong-He, Supervisor Chuang Li-Min, Director Wu Chao-Jun, Director Shih Chong-Liang, Professor Yutaka Seino, Chairman Huang Chien-Ning, Academician Chen Chien-Jen, Professor Moon-Kyu Lee, Professor Daisuke Yabe, Vice President Hsu Hui-Heng, and Chairman Ouh Hong-Yi.
With a comprehensive national health insurance system in place, Taiwan ensures that every high-risk group can receive proactive prevention and personalized management early on, demonstrating international competitiveness in the accessibility and completeness of chronic disease care. To address the increasingly severe challenge of chronic diseases—particularly hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes (the three highs), and chronic kidney disease—the Taiwan Diabetes Association unveiled the “T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration” at the 17th Scientific Meeting of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). This declaration was made in witness of various governmental agencies, academic institutions, and medical associations, including the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes, the National Health Insurance Administration, the Health Promotion Administration, Academia Sinica, the National Health Research Institutes, the Taiwan Society of Nephrology, and the Taiwan Society of Cardiology. The declaration responds to the government’s vision of “Healthy Taiwan” and the goals of the 888 Plan, which focus on delaying disability and increasing life expectancy. It proposes a comprehensive health care model for chronic diseases centered around risk stratification, precision medicine, and digital management, further promoting the integration of holistic health care and medical services, while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to drive a new paradigm of chronic disease prevention and treatment.

New Health Goals for Healthy Taiwan: Reduce Standardized Mortality Rate of Chronic Diseases Related to the Three Highs by One-Third
The Taiwan Diabetes Association Unveils T-CaReMe Declaration to Promote Precision Care Blueprint for Kidney Health in Relation to the Three Highs
With the trends of aging, prolonged illness, and the emergence of chronic diseases at younger ages, chronic disease prevention and management have become a global focus. Taiwan is following international trends by establishing the “Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee,” which has set two major health goals for the next eight years: to increase the average life expectancy of the population from 79 to 82 years and to reduce the proportion of unhealthy life expectancy from 10% to 8%. To strengthen chronic disease management, the government recently announced a target at the Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee meeting to “reduce the standardized mortality rate of chronic diseases related to the three highs by one-third by 2030,” along with comprehensive strategies promoting healthy lifestyles, obesity prevention, and holistic management of chronic diseases, through public-private collaboration to enhance health policies and reduce the risks of chronic diseases and disabilities.
The Taiwan Diabetes Association has released the “T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration,” making “Kidney Protection in Relation to the Three Highs” a core focus. Through the T-CaReMe initiative, the vision of “risk stratification, precision medicine, digital management, and increased life expectancy” is implemented, along with five key action frameworks: promoting precise risk diagnostics, standardized clinical guidelines, personalized health management, data sharing, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal is to ensure that 80% of patients with the three highs and kidney disease achieve control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids while ensuring that 80% of kidney disease patients receive care and medication guidance from care managers, thereby enhancing survival rates and improving health quality, creating a stronger defense for chronic disease care in the population.
Risk Stratification × Precision Medicine: T-CaReMe Initiative Launches a New Future for Chronic Disease Management
International Experts Gather to Establish Taiwan as a Demonstration Base for Chronic Disease Care
The T-CaReMe Taipei Declaration focuses on precise risk diagnostic classification and assessment, aiming to accurately identify high-risk populations and improve the effectiveness of chronic disease management. Through expert consensus and clinical risk stratification, as well as medical guidelines, the initiative integrates clinical data with international standards to ensure that patients receive personalized health management and appropriate treatment. Additionally, the declaration emphasizes collaboration across nations and disciplines, engaging in precision medicine and research achievements in the realm of chronic diseases in the Asia-Pacific region, influencing public health policies and improving chronic disease care outcomes, while developing a more precise and accessible holistic health care approach, solidifying Taiwan’s position as a regional demonstration base.
The meeting brought together experts and scholars from the National Health Insurance Administration, the Health Promotion Administration, Academia Sinica, and the National Health Research Institutes, along with representatives from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF-WPR) and the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD), to witness the official launch of the “T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration.” The Taiwan Diabetes Association stated that the declaration not only lays the groundwork for Taiwan’s development blueprint in precision chronic disease care and kidney health management related to the three highs but also aims to promote upgrades in chronic disease management models, enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, and build a more comprehensive health care system, driving improvements in global chronic disease care quality and prosperity starting from Taiwan.
Dr. Wu Mai-Su, President of the Taiwan Society of Nephrology, noted that although Taiwan has developed risk stratification and data-driven personalized treatment, standardized guidelines have yet to be incorporated, and clinical applications still have room for improvement, especially in the integrated management of kidney disease and diabetes. He expressed that through the T-CaReMe initiative, interdisciplinary collaboration can facilitate the integration of chronic kidney disease risk and comorbid management with diabetes and hypertension, contributing to higher patient survival rates and better kidney function maintenance. Dr. Li Yi-Heng, President of the Taiwan Society of Cardiology, emphasized that risk stratification and data-driven personalized management can effectively reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events, further strengthening the health defenses of the population. Dr. Hsu Hui-Heng, Deputy Director of the National Health Research Institutes, stated that the application of precision medicine will play a crucial role in future chronic disease management. The National Health Research Institutes is actively exploring several initiatives, such as using AI technology and big data to establish smart risk prediction systems, believing that under the visionary actions of the T-CaReMe initiative, there will be further optimization of precise predictions for cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic disease risks, providing better scientific bases for the prevention of primary and secondary complications and organ damage associated with chronic diseases, thus realizing Taiwan’s health blueprint.
Aligning with International Standards! T-CaReMe Initiative Promotes a New Paradigm of Precision Chronic Disease Management
Taiwan will construct a comorbidity risk database within two years. The T-CaReMe initiative calls on all sectors to build a defense against chronic diseases.
In recent years, the Health Promotion Administration has actively promoted the “Scientific Disease Calculation Center” and risk prediction tools to enhance public health literacy and self-management awareness, delaying the onset of chronic diseases through proactive health education. Meanwhile, the National Health Insurance Administration has introduced AI risk stratification tools and a tiered care system, promoting the “Everyone’s Health Platform” and comprehensive, patient-centered care to improve care efficiency and resource utilization. Professor Chen Chih-Hong, Vice Convener of the Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee, stated that the T-CaReMe initiative aligns closely with government policies integrating prevention and treatment, reflecting the core spirit advocated by the 888 Plan. In the future, it is hoped that all sectors will work together to deepen interdisciplinary collaboration and public-private integration, creating a sustainable and resilient model for chronic disease care.
The global healthcare community has identified precise risk assessment and personalized treatment as key trends in chronic disease management. The latest diabetes care guidelines particularly address the comorbidity risks associated with the three highs and kidney disease, suggesting earlier intervention in cardiovascular and kidney health management and enhancing data-driven diagnostic models. The importance of early screening and treatment is emphasized, and precise risk assessment and integration of patient data will be core development directions for future chronic disease management. These international trends indicate that global chronic disease management is moving towards precision medicine, digital monitoring, and interdisciplinary integration, which aligns closely with the goals of the T-CaReMe initiative.
The Taiwan Diabetes Association took action as early as 2023, collaborating with 12 medical institutions in Taiwan to join the iCaReMe global registry program. Through interdisciplinary integrated care, patient tracking, and the application of clinical data, it not only provides more precise risk assessments and patient profiles but also effectively monitors and optimizes treatment outcomes, which has been shown to improve patients’ health conditions. Chairman Huang Jian-Ning shared that the short-term goal of the T-CaReMe initiative is to construct a representative database within two years. By analyzing lifestyle factors, it aims to more accurately assess the comorbidity risks of different patients. Implementing a comprehensive model for precision chronic disease care requires not only efforts from the medical community but also active participation from government agencies, academic institutions, industry partners, and civic groups to jointly promote data integration and personalized health management, ensuring that risk stratification and standardized guidelines are continually refined, while enhancing chronic disease management effectiveness in Taiwan and the Asia-Pacific region.
Yutaka Seino, Chair of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes conference, stated that Taiwan has consistently been at the forefront of chronic disease prevention and treatment in Asia, and he hopes that through public-private collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation, Taiwan can lead the global improvement of chronic disease care quality.
