Samsung Electronics announced that it has produced 8K content videos in the classical genre for the first time and will showcase the videos on TVs at Samsung Stores nationwide starting from the 8th. The videos will also be available on Universal Music's official YouTube channel, 'Studio Giwa.' One video will be sequentially released each day from the 8th to the 10th.

The 8K videos presented by Samsung Electronics were produced with three pieces included in the album 'Handel Project,' which ranked number one on the Billboard Classical chart in the U.S. last year: ▲Handel: Suite No.7 in G minor HWV440 - 3rd movement Sarabande ▲Chopin: Waltz No.2 in A-flat major Op.34-1 ▲Liszt: Consolation S.172-3 in D-flat major.

Samsung Electronics is expanding the 8K content ecosystem by providing differentiated content experiences through collaboration with various partners. Last year, it filmed CJ ENM's 'MCOUNTDOWN IN FRANCE' held in France and captured highlight videos of K-pop artists in 8K resolution.

Kim Cheol-gi, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business, said, "We continue to collaborate with partners to promote 8K resolution, which offers a viewing experience on a different level," adding, "We will lead the expansion of the 8K content base by showcasing content in various fields."
