Distribution of Vouchers to Parents of Infants and Toddlers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk via KidsNote App

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Watcha is offering a free 1-month Watcha Play subscription to support parents of infants and toddlers in Daegu and Gyeongbuk.

On the 19th, the online video service Watcha Play announced that it would provide Watcha Play subscriptions to parents of infants and toddlers in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions in collaboration with Kids Note, an app for managing kindergartens and daycare centers. This initiative aims to support parents facing difficulties as the reopening of educational facilities, including kindergartens and daycare centers, has been postponed until April 6 due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The Watcha Play subscriptions will be delivered through Kids Note. Parents registered with kindergartens and daycare centers in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas who have consented to receive text messages will be able to receive the Watcha Play subscription via SMS starting from the 23rd. The subscription can be used without entering payment information and is a short-term pass that does not automatically convert to a paid subscription after expiration.

Additionally, free Watcha Play subscriptions will be provided to military personnel. In cooperation with Code Mobile, a telecommunications operator running the Easy Talk plan exclusively for military personnel, 50,000 soldiers will receive a 100-hour free subscription. Code Mobile has decided to offer one month of free communication fees for certain plans to military personnel. Previously, Watcha Play, in consultation with the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, provided free access to Watcha Play for confirmed COVID-19 patients and those in self-quarantine, as well as a 3-day free subscription for the entire population.

Watcha Play stated, "Since providing the free subscriptions, we have received many messages of thanks and support directly and indirectly from the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions," adding, "We have decided to offer additional support specifically for the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas, which are experiencing significant difficulties."
