NunuTV Gives In to Government Pressure... Service Termination

The illegal streaming site 'NunuTV' has succumbed to the government's all-out pressure. NunuTV will terminate its service. The termination time is midnight transitioning into the 14th.

On the 13th, NunuTV stated, "Since our official service launch in June 2021, we have been able to continue thanks to the love of many users, but due to uncontrollable traffic fees and comprehensive pressure on the site, after careful consideration, we have decided to terminate the service." It is analyzed that the government's pressure and the network cost issues caused by the surge in traffic became a burden.

Earlier, on the 9th of last month, media companies including TVING, JTBC, KBS, and MBC formed a Video Copyright Protection Council and submitted a criminal complaint against NunuTV to investigative agencies. Accordingly, the Cyber Crime Investigation Unit of the Busan Police Agency has been investigating the criminal complaint filed by the Video Copyright Protection Council, composed of industry stakeholders, against NunuTV. The government also strengthened its response by implementing a policy on the 6th to block access routes to NunuTV daily. However, NunuTV even released a dedicated application that circumvented the government's access blocking policy.

NunuTV generated revenue by illegally providing content and advertising illegal gambling sites. The estimated damage caused by NunuTV is about 5 trillion won.
