This product is a restructured version of the existing 'YouTube Premium Choice' plan, with its basic benefits replaced by Premium Lite, and can be used without additional charges.

YouTube Premium Lite was officially launched in Korea last month and allows users to watch major YouTube videos without ads for 8,500 won per month. YouTube Music is excluded. Offline storage and background playback are restricted and ads may be shown when using music content or Shorts on the YouTube application (app).

If customers choose this plan and apply both the selective contract discount (25%) and the Premium Family Bundle discount (25%), they can enjoy unlimited data and related benefits for just over 50,000 won per month. Customers who wish to use YouTube Music can upgrade to 'YouTube Premium' for an additional fee. Along with the plan benefits, KT also offers YouTube Premium Lite for 8,000 won per month through its 'KT Subscription' service.

KT has also released two new subscription packs that combine the YouTube experience with MegaMGC Coffee coupons. Until the end of the year, promotional discounts are available at 14,900 won (includes three cups of Americano) and 8,500 won (includes one cup of Americano), respectively. In addition, customers who newly subscribe to YouTube Premium or a subscription pack via KT Subscription by the end of this month will receive a 2,000 won Naver Pay point voucher.

Kim Younggeol, Senior Vice President and Head of Customer Business Division at KT, said, "By introducing YouTube Premium Lite as a bundled product for the first time among domestic telecom operators, we have expanded customer choice while reducing price burdens," adding, "We will continue to expand subscription-based products tailored to our customers’ lifestyles."
