LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2004

New SmartSkin Will Deliver KORN Songs, Ringtones, Video Clips,

Pictures and "Behind the Scenes" Access to All Things Uniquely KORN

Wildseed Ltd., a software company pioneering SmartSkin(TM) interactive accessories for wireless phones, and platinum-selling trend-setting rock pioneers, KORN, today announced a licensing agreement to produce a new Music SmartSkin which will feature KORN. This musical accessory will deliver KORN music, ringtones, video clips and screen themes, plus dynamic network-driven data applications associated with KORN.

SmartSkin accessories work in concert with a new phone, called Identity(TM), produced by Curitel, an established Korean-based handset manufacturer. The phone is slated for a spring debut. Identity is a GSM/GPRS phone that can be stylized from the inside out with SmartSkin interactive accessories, which provides consumers with a means for personalizing the phone and "making it their own". The KORN SmartSkin will initially be available at carrier stores where the phone is sold.

"KORN is cutting edge in everything they do. Wildseed is pumped to have a platinum-selling group like KORN join its line-up of Music SmartSkin accessories. Fusing KORN's style and music to the wireless phone is exactly what young consumers tell us they want for a true mobile music experience," said Cindy Smith, Wildseed Vice President of Marketing.

"The technology behind SmartSkin is like none other. It's what compelled us to work with Wildseed and tie KORN in with an exciting new experience KORN fans can take part in," said Shab Azma, President of the Fireball Group and licensing consultant for KORN.

The SmartSkin experience will deliver KORN fans a sampling of their songs, video clips, ringtones and internal phone screen designs adorned with pictures and icons of KORN. The interactive accessory will also deliver easy links to sign up for KORN Alerts to keep up to date on the group, access to KORN Chat rooms for fans to connect with each other, and "behind the scenes" glimpses of KORN on tour with new pictures delivered to their phone. The accessory will also provide access to KORN photo blogs, lyrics, quizzes, voting and shopping.

Wildseed will demonstrate the new SmartSkin line and Identity at the 2004 International CES show in Las Vegas in Booth #70441 in the Silver Exhibits pavilion. SmartSkins are being honored with the prestigious 2004 Design and Engineering Showcase award in the Wireless Communications Category. Wildseed won TechTV's Best of Show Finalist at CES 2003.

About KORN

KORN has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and has received widespread critical acclaim for their music. The band--JONATHAN, MUNKY, HEAD, FIELDY and DAVID--has redefined the parameters of heavy music, revolutionizing the genre by matching unsettling guitar textures and volcanic rhythms with jagged, introspective lyrics and intense vocal stylings. TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR, released in November 2003, marks the band's sixth--and first self-produced--album. The two-time Grammy-Award winning group recently received a third Grammy nomination in the "Best Metal Performance" category for "Did My Time," a track from TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR; the song was also featured in the film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life.
