KT announced on the 15th that it has launched the 'Genie TV YouTube Premium Choice' plan, which combines YouTube Premium with the IPTV service Genie TV.
The newly launched plan includes YouTube Premium and allows users to enjoy live broadcasts and video-on-demand (VOD) content from Genie TV together. This is the first time an IPTV plan in South Korea has combined YouTube Premium.
This plan offers 269 live channels, over 400,000 VOD content, and a 5% discount benefit on KT Alpha shopping, along with a YouTube Premium membership. Users can also access YouTube Premium on mobile and tablet devices with their existing Google account.
The 'Genie TV YouTube Premium Choice' plan costs 29,000 won per month (based on a three-year contract), allowing users to save about 2,400 won per month (up to a maximum of 86,000 won over three years) compared to using YouTube Premium (14,900 won) and the Genie TV Essence plan (16,500 won) separately.
Additionally, KT will launch the 'YouTube Premium Lifestyle Subscription Pack' for standalone YouTube Premium customers on the 16th. This product offers a subscription service where customers can choose one of the options: ▲ GS25 4,000 won voucher ▲ Daiso 4,000 won voucher ▲ Olive Young 4,000 won voucher each month. The subscription fee is 16,900 won per month.
