LGU+ Presents 'Idol Blind Date'... First Episode on 19th Features Golden Child

[Asia Economy Reporter Joeslgina] LG Uplus announced that starting from the 19th, it will showcase its self-produced content, the pet adoption encouragement variety show "Idol Blind Date," on its ‘U+IdolLive’ application. The first series features Daeyeol, Jaehyun, and Juchan from the idol group Golden Child.

Through the original content Idol Blind Date, LG Uplus encourages pet adoption by showing idols and shelter animals paired up for a day-long date. Every year, about 100,000 pets are abandoned domestically.

The first episode was produced with the concept of a "Christmas Gift." Daeyeol, Jaehyun, and Juchan visit the center to give the shelter dogs, their partners for the day, a gift-like day. Fans will be able to see the cast seriously considering and preparing gifts for the shelter dogs, building memories together, and volunteering.

LG Uplus plans to hold an event donating pet supplies to animal shelters in the name of Golden Child based on the number of ‘hearts’ on the Idol Blind Date videos within U+IdolLive. Additionally, among viewers who watch the videos, a lottery will be held to provide Polaroid photos of the members. Detailed information about the event can be found in the event menu of the U+IdolLive app.

Lee Jung-woo, head of LG Uplus Music Service Team, said, “While abandoned animals are increasing due to COVID-19, adoption rates are decreasing. Therefore, we planned a program that shows popular idols and cute animals happily together to encourage viewers to adopt pets,” adding, “We ask for much interest in Idol Blind Date, which will warm fans’ hearts during the cold winter.”

The Golden Child edition of Idol Blind Date will be broadcast over a total of three episodes. Starting from the 19th, it will be exclusively released for free every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 PM through U+IdolLive. U+IdolLive is available for free download from app markets such as Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and One Store regardless of the user’s telecom provider.
