[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Online video service Wavve recently announced on the 9th that it will provide 40 premium movies and 100 kids' movies free of charge for one month as compensation for some on-demand video (VOD) playback issues.
For the next two weeks, Wavve will offer 20 premium movies, which were previously available for separate purchase, free of charge to paid members. These include titles such as "Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story," "Portrait of a Lady on Fire," "The Great Battle Kim Chang-su," "800," and "Bailey Again."
For all users, including free members, 50 kids' movies such as "Dog Poop," "PriPara," "Cocoming," and "Moomin in Frozen" will be provided. Subsequently, new movies will be offered as replacements for another two weeks, providing a total of 140 movies over the course of one month.
Additionally, Wavve is providing specialized psychological counseling programs for children affected by the kids' program broadcast error that occurred on the 29th of last month as separate compensation. Furthermore, to ensure users can use the service with confidence, measures such as the elimination of the adult-only movie menu, refinement of the content registration process, and harmful content monitoring through deep learning are being implemented. Wavve also plans to strengthen services for infant and child viewers by offering kids-only accounts and enhancing kids' programming.
