Cyworld, which is promoting service resumption in May, announced on the 19th that the photo data stored by its members is safe, and that it plans to refund about 3.5 billion won worth of’Acorn’ (cyber money) to users.
Cyworld Jet, which took over the rights to operate Cyworld, announced through a press release that it had signed an agreement with SK Communications on the transfer of service data the day before.
Cyworld has been unable to access the server in SKT’s Internet Data Center (IDC) for 1 year and 5 months due to arrears of the company’s newsletter usage fee to SK Comms in the past. However, as the two sides agreed to transfer data, Cyworld’s restoration work also gained momentum.
They said, “We have confirmed that a database (DB) of 18 billion, including 17 billion photos, 150 million videos, and 500 million music sources, which were saved by 32 million members, has been preserved as it is.”

In addition, when the Cyworld service resumes in May, the acorns purchased by users will also be refunded. Cyworld Jet said it has agreed to refund the acorns that SK Comms kept. Acorns are cyber money that was used to purchase wallpapers and music for my mini homepage.
An official from Cyworld Jet said, “SK Telecom and SK Comms made a big decision to revive Cyworld. We will be able to check the progress of recovery and the’Find ID’ function through Cyworld soon.”
