"Idol Fancams on TV" LG Uplus Launches 'U+tv IdolLive'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus has launched ‘U+tv IdolLive’ for IPTV, allowing viewers to enjoy idol performances and exclusive videos bigger and more vividly on TV.

According to LG Uplus on the 9th, U+tv IdolLive is a service that integrates the existing ‘U+IdolLive’ mobile application into its IPTV service, U+tv. It offers differentiated features such as ▲‘Member-specific videos’ that let users choose their favorite member during live broadcasts ▲‘Behind-the-stage camera’ to watch footage shot backstage ▲‘Time machine’ to replay missed moments during live broadcasts, as well as exclusive videos, concerts, music shows, and variety content totaling 24,000 pieces from U+IdolLive, now available on large-screen TVs. An LG Uplus official explained, “With the launch of U+tv IdolLive, fans can enjoy their favorite idols for free from the ‘front row at home,’ easing the disappointment caused by concert cancellations and postponements.”

U+tv IdolLive is available for free to all U+tv customers using the ‘UHD2’ or ‘UHD3’ set-top boxes. Users can access it by pressing the ‘Menu’ button on the U+tv remote, selecting ‘TV Apps,’ and launching U+tv IdolLive, or by pressing the ‘Search’ button on the front or the ‘Voice’ button on the side of the remote and saying, “Run Uplus IdolLive.” Moon Hyun-il, head of IPTV products at LG Uplus, said, “U+IdolLive, which has surpassed 1.1 million cumulative hours of use with differentiated features like ‘Member-specific videos’ that cater to fans’ hearts and were not available in traditional music shows, will continue to lead customer experience innovation by introducing features that leverage the strengths of both mobile and TV.”
