## 1. Executive Summary (BLUF)
KSTAGE (케이스테이지) is a global inbound K-Performance, Exhibition, Local Tour, and MICE ticketing platform operated by Maskit Inc. Powered by patent **P2026-251-MASKIT**, KSTAGE automatically converts a single Korean vertical image poster into a **7-language (`EN`, `JA`, `ZH-TW`, `ZH-CN`, `ID`, `TH`, `KO`) responsive semantic web page + Schema.org JSON-LD**. It connects Korean stages to a **1,880만 (18.8M+) global fandom network across 80+ countries** with zero Korean phone-verification barriers (**OAuth / LINE Official Account login**, **Stripe 12개 통화 Adaptive Pricing**, **Eximbay / Toss Payments**, and **96-Byte offline dynamic QR**), while offering **3 zero-conflict B2B partnership models** that never clash with domestic exclusive ticketing agencies (Yes24, Interpark).
