[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Uplus announced on the 6th that it will provide domestic and international performing arts content for free every Wednesday through IPTV under the theme of 'Wednesday with Culture.'

The new content includes Daehangno small theater performances produced in collaboration with the struggling performing arts community due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), as well as domestic and international performances co-planned with the LG Arts Center.

The first performance, released at 8 PM on the day, is "A Dramatic Night," filmed without an audience at the Daehangno Dream Art Center. It is a representative comedy play of Daehangno that has been watched by 600,000 people over the past 11 years. The second performance, scheduled to be released on the 13th, is "This Is the Last." It was selected as one of the "Top 3 Plays of the Year" by the Korean Theatre Critics Association in 2019.

These performances can be viewed on LG Uplus IPTV channel 820 and are also available anytime through the Video On Demand (VOD) menu. In June and July, recent performances by the Paris Opera Ballet and the Monte Carlo Circus Festival hosted by the Monaco royal family will be serviced for the first time in Korea.

Lee Geon-young, Executive Director of Advertising and Content at LG Uplus, said, "We planned wholesome and culturally enriching content that the whole family can watch together at home due to social distancing."
