KT-Hyundai Motor Launch Connected Car Genie Music Service

On the 9th, KT announced that it will provide a new music listening experience by installing Genie Music streaming service in the new Genesis GV70 in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group.

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT has applied the connected car Genie Music streaming service to the new 'Genesis GV70' launched by Hyundai Motor Group on the 15th. Music can be played automatically without connecting a smartphone or tablet PC to the vehicle via Bluetooth.

According to KT on the 9th, the 'Genesis GV70' allows real-time music streaming through an LTE network directly connected to the vehicle by applying Genie Music streaming. This is evaluated as opening new possibilities for vehicle infotainment functions and the expansion of connected car services.

To implement the function of streaming music directly in the vehicle, KT conducted research and development together with Hyundai Motor Group and Genie Music from the early stages of GV70 development. They also focused on specialized capabilities of connected car technology such as dedicated connected car infrastructure, network resource allocation services, and separation and management of streaming traffic. The Genie Music streaming service is expected to be gradually expanded to the previously released Genesis G80 and GV80 vehicles. KT and Hyundai Motor Group also plan to hold an event providing streaming data usage rights for vehicles and a 2-month Genie Music subscription to buyers of the 'Genesis GV70.'

Choi Kang-rim, Head of KT Connected Car Business Center (Executive Director), said, "KT was able to provide a stable Genie Music streaming service through close R&D cooperation with Hyundai Motor Group based on the strongest connected car capabilities among telecom companies," and emphasized, "KT will actively support the development and provision of various connected car services by Hyundai Motor Group in the future." Chu Gyo-ung, Executive Vice President in charge of electronics at Hyundai Motor Group, said, "This collaboration on the Genie Music service with KT will be an important starting point to introduce innovative connected car services to customers," and added, "A car is a great space to enjoy music freely, and through KT's Genie Music service, we can provide customers with a convenient and new experience."
