KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 (Bernama) -- LG Uplus has changed the name of its media platform for K-pop entertainers, from U+ idol Live, to idolplus, and launched a web service in six languages, including English, Chinese and Japanese.

idolplus is a live K-pop performance broadcasting platform launched in 2018 under the name of U+ idol Live. It has established itself as a media platform specialising in K-pop entertainers by continuously expanding contents for K-pop fans to approximately 35,000.

“In addition to original contents featuring popular K-pop entertainers, famous concerts and award shows can be watched on the platform for free,” LG Uplus said in a statement.

The key contents include “IDOLLIVE School: Searching for IDOLLIVE School Ambassador,” a show introducing K-pop entertainers’ talents, “IDOLWORKSHOP,” a workshop of K-pop entertainers as office workers for a day, and “The Door: To the Strange World,” a situation play-based mystery game variety series.

idolplus offers not only a wide range of high-resolution and high-quality contents, including original shows, performances and award ceremonies, but also close-up camera views of each member of the K-pop groups.

idolplus’ contents, which are available in six languages namely Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Indonesian, will be continuously expanded. Free picture-in-picture (PIP) and background play functions are also provided.

From Sept 8 to 20, idolplus will hold an event to celebrate its global launching. Participants in the event can stand a chance to win tickets to the 2022 The Fact Music Award to be staged in Korea on Oct 8.

The TMA idolplus Popularity Award voting will also be held. This special prize awarded by idolplus and K-pop fans through voting will be presented to entertainers at the TMA Awards ceremony.
