  "summary": "Samsung Electronics has launched a paperless ticket service in collaboration with Korail, the Korea Railroad Corp., starting Monday. The feature allows users to register mobile train tickets in Samsung Wallet, eliminating the need for physical tickets. This is the first domestic mobile boarding pass service supported by Samsung Wallet. Users can activate the function within their Samsung Wallet app, where paying for a Korail ticket at a station ticket window automatically adds the mobile ticket to their Wallet. Tickets purchased through Korail Plus, an integrated app launched on August 3, can also be added to Samsung Wallet using the 'Add to Wallet' feature. The SRT high-speed rail service, which will be renamed KTX-Sancheon starting September 1, will also enable ticket addition to Samsung Wallet from September. Samsung Electronics has enabled refund functionality for these paperless tickets.",
