Stakeholders
AfreecaTV defined its major stakeholder groups directly and indirectly affected by business activities as shareholders, media associations and institutions, local and civil society, users, partners, and employees, and linked the issues of interest of each stakeholder with the establishment of management strategies.
Stakeholder Participation
AfreecaTV collects the opinions of stakeholders through various communication channels. We reflect the needs of stakeholders by implementing improvement and response activities based on the interests of stakeholders collected through these channels. In the future, we plan to provide information by diversifying communication channels according to the major interests of each stakeholder and to reflect the needs of stakeholders in our major management activities.

Performance Announcements through ALCON
ALCON (AfreecaTV Live Conference Call) is a communication channel where questions and answers are shared with all stakeholders, including employees, partners (BJs), and users. AfreecaTV has held ALCON every quarter since 2016 for broadcasting and communication. AfreecaTV utilizes the advantages of an interactive communication platform to announce quarterly results, share future business directions, and actively communicate the company's performance and future plans to stakeholders in real time.

eTown Hall Meetings
The eTown Hall meeting is held every quarter. This is an in-house broadcast where executives and employees gather together to discuss and collect opinions on major issues of the company. All employees, including the CEO, can freely express their opinions and have a healthy discussion about the direction of the company's development. By holding regular eTown Hall meetings, AfreecaTV is creating a culture of free internal communication and is being reborn as a company that is trusted by its employees.

BJ Meeting
AfreecaTV holds online and offline BJ meetings every year to actively listen to the opinions of BJs, its core business partners, explain the responsibilities and policies of the media to BJs, and share opinions about the difficulties faced by BJs. In 2021, BJ meetings were held simultaneously online and offline twice in March and September. The online BJ meetings were held using the joint broadcasting function, and a small number of BJs participated offline to participate in the Q&A. Through this, we help BJs to create better content and promoting mutual growth between our partners and the company.

User Meetings
AfreecaTV holds monthly online user meetings for interactive communication with users. By explaining new services, policies, and precautions to users through online broadcasts and by collecting opinions, we are seeking directions to improve service.

AfreecaTV recognizes the importance of economic value distribution to stakeholders and is actively engaged in employment, dividends, tax payment, and even indirect economic value distribution. Through active recruitment every year, our number of employees is rapidly increasing, and with the dividend increase according to the increase in profits, the distribution of profits to partners is also growing rapidly
