The SK Telecom T1 x Gugudan Special Match was a special charity event organized by OGN to benefit child safety in South Korea, featuring SK Telecom T1 and girl group Gugudan.
Background[]
In 2017, SK Telecom partnered with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department for the "Neighborship" campaign to promote child safety, particularly to prevent lost or kidnapped children.[1] From there, SKT contacted Gugudan about participating in a promotional event for the campaign in order to attract more children who could benefit from it; since debuting in 2016 as Jellyfish Entertainment's first girl group, Gugudan had become popular among newer K-Pop girl groups and included two members of I.O.I., formed on the hit Korean reality/variety show Produce 101.
Gugudan practiced with OGN LCK casters CloudTemplar and Dankun for the event and eventually selected five of their nine members to play in the event – leader Hana (Shin Bo-ra), Mimi (Jung Mi-mi), Haebin (Han Hae-bin), Soyee (Jang So-jin), and Hyeyeon (Cho Hye-yeon). Although the event took place in September, the video was not released until October 10.
