- Stage Five’s reward point “Pinpoint” to join the MiL.k Alliance; point exchange feature to launch in Q1 2026
- New mobile plans set to launch in Q1 2026, introducing a “Telecom-Tech” model that rewards unused data

Two leading innovators in blockchain and telecom have joined forces to introduce a new paradigm to the MVNO market.
Milk Partners Inc., the operator of the blockchain-based point integration platform MiL.k, announced on the 19th that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Stage Five, one of Korea’s leading technology-driven MVNO companies. Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to jointly drive innovation in the telecom market.
The partnership brings together the technological capabilities and platform expertise of both companies to deliver differentiated telecom services that align with the growing YONO (You Only Need One) consumption trend and the evolving needs of value-conscious MVNO users.
As part of the collaboration, Stage Five will join MiL.k as a new point alliance partner. The reward point “Pinpoint,” newly introduced to Stage Five’s MVNO brand Pindirect, will be exchangeable for points from various partner brands through the MiL.k app. This integration is expected to significantly enhance the usability and value of Pinpoint while strengthening Pindirect’s competitive differentiation in the MVNO market. The two companies plan to officially launch the Pinpoint point linkage and exchange functionality within the MiL.k app in the first quarter of next year.
Beyond point integration, the partners will also co-develop innovative mobile plans scheduled for launch in Q1 2026. The new offering is designed to reward users with tangible benefits based on the amount of mobile data they save. This represents a new “Telecom-Tech” model not previously seen in the telecom market, catering to smart consumers who prioritize efficiency, savings, and rational spending.
In addition, Milk Partners and Stage Five will carry out large-scale joint marketing campaigns to support the launch of the new services and accelerate user acquisition. By combining MiL.k’s user base of 1.5 million with Stage Five’s telecom service capabilities, the companies aim to actively engage the core MVNO customer segment, particularly Gen MZ consumers.
Through this partnership, Milk Partners further strengthens its real-world blockchain ecosystem, extending its reach beyond travel, leisure, shopping, and lifestyle services into the telecom sector.
Cho Jung-min, CEO of Milk Partners, commented,“Together with Stage Five, we are preparing products that allow users to consume telecom services more rationally by rewarding unused data each month. We will continue to introduce valuable and practical services that deliver real benefits to the market.”
Meanwhile, MiL.k continues to expand its point ecosystem through partnerships with major domestic and global brands, including SK OK Cashbag, Lotte L.Point, CU, Megabox, NOL (Yanolja), and AirAsia, among others.
