LG Uplus will introduce overseas AI services to its subscription platform, 'Yudok.' The company plans to showcase overseas AI services that have not yet been widely introduced in the domestic market or are difficult to subscribe to individually through Yudok.
On the 5th, LG Uplus announced that it will collaborate with global subscription platform company Bango to bring overseas AI and content services to Yudok. Yudok is a platform where users can subscribe to and manage various subscription products in fields such as AI, OTT (online video service), education, and lifestyle all in one place. As the first outcome of this collaboration, a video editing AI service is scheduled to be added to Yudok in November. LG Uplus plans to continuously expand its new product lineup, including generative AI, productivity AI, and creative AI.
The two companies plan to pursue several initiatives based on this collaboration, including △ discovering domestic and international AI and content services, △ integrating new subscription services, △ planning bundled products tailored to demand, and △ expanding the digital subscription ecosystem.
Bango is a global subscription platform company that connects digital service providers, telecommunications carriers, and platform companies worldwide. Using its proprietary subscription integration platform, 'Digital Vending Machine (DVM),' it integrates and distributes various subscription services on a single platform. LG Uplus plans to use DVM to streamline processes such as contracting for new services within Yudok, system integration, and product launch procedures.
Additionally, by combining Bango's global service network with LG Uplus's product planning capabilities, the companies plan to offer various subscription bundle products tailored to user purposes and service characteristics. In the future, they also plan to sequentially introduce global content services specialized in specific areas of interest.
Jo Yong-seong, executive vice president and head of partnership business at LG Uplus, stated, "User subscription demand is rapidly expanding beyond content into the AI and productivity service sectors." He added, "Through this collaboration, we will support users in accessing a wide variety of global AI services more easily and conveniently, and continue to strengthen Yudok's competitiveness."
Paul Larbey, CEO of Bango, said, "LG Uplus provides users with a broad subscription experience through Yudok." He added, "We will actively support the rapid addition of various global services using Bango's DVM and the configuration of subscription products that meet demand."
