Launches Paid Broadcasting Safe Subscription Campaign

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] The Korea Communications Commission announced on the 31st that it will conduct a two-month campaign starting next month on the 1st titled "Accurately and Safely Subscribing to Paid Broadcasting for Seniors." This decision was made based on the need to provide subscription information specialized for the elderly.

The main points emphasize that when seniors subscribe to paid broadcasting, it is essential to "confirm the total fee and contract period, and obtain clear consent for subscription." If the telephone consultation is difficult to understand, seniors are advised to "ask again or request a slow explanation, or ask a nearby acquaintance to explain on their behalf."

This campaign plans to enhance promotional effectiveness for users through SNS advertisements, offline promotions at 10 Viewer Media Centers nationwide, and by posting posters and videos on the websites and sales offices of paid broadcasting providers. The Korea Communications Commission, together with paid broadcasting providers, has formed a "Paid Broadcasting Voluntary Improvement Working Group" to encourage proactive and voluntary improvement activities that protect viewers' rights, moving away from traditional post-regulatory measures like this campaign.
