Entertainment tech company NEW ID announced on October 17 that it will launch premium K-content channels in 17 countries worldwide through Samsung TV Plus. This move is expected to increase accessibility to K-content in the global market and further strengthen the partnership with Samsung TV Plus.

The newly launched channels include K-Drama+ (drama channel), NEW KPOP (K-pop channel), @K-MUSIC (main K-pop channel), NEW KMOVIES (movie channel), and BABY SHARK TV (kids channel), totaling five channels. The service regions cover North America, Europe, Asia, and Central and South America.
