VK Mobile is a South Korean company specialising in manufacturing mobile phone terminals. It is part of the brand name VK (short for Viable Korea) which was established in 2001. It originally started as an importer of Lithium ion polymer batteries for mobile phones in 1997, but began production of its own batteries in 2000 and mobile phones in 2001.

VK Mobile targets primarily markets in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Europe, Australia, Taiwan, USA and Canada. The main technology to date has been CDMA and PCS but there are plans to expand into other areas.

The CEO of the company, Yi Cheol-sang, was already famous before he started business as one of the leaders of South Korean student activism.

On July 7, 2006, VK Mobile filed for bankruptcy after it suffered several financial difficulties resulting from operational loss.
