– Export of High-Definition VOD Repackages and VR Formats –

– KT to Extend Korean Content Markets to Southeast Asia –

SEOUL, South Korea, July 22, 2020 — KT Corp. (KRX: 030200; NYSE: KT), South Korea’s largest telecommunications company, announced that it is now streaming live performances by K-pop idols aspiring for global stages to Hong Kong audiences.

The new 5G-powered service began under a contract on content sale that KT signed on July 15 with China Mobile’s music subsidiary, Migu, the leading Korean mobile carrier said.

The contract is an extension of a 2019 memorandum of understanding on collaboration in services of 5G-based new media contents. KT is the first Korean 5G network carrier to export Korean pop music and other digital entertainment contents via China Mobile’s subsidiary.

In December 2019, KT’s 5G network began global broadcasts of K-pop groups on its “KT Live Stage” program. Since then it has relayed seven live programs each month to audiences in Korea via Seezn – KT’s OTT streaming service – and in Hong Kong via Migu’s platform. Those KT Live Stage programs also have been repackaged into VOD format to export.

FarEasTone, a Taiwanese telecommunications company with much interest in high-definition streaming of K-pop contents, also provided its clients with free viewing of KT Live Stage.

KT has collaborated with music promoters and producers in producing the VR contents of all K-pop artists who participated in KT’s earlier live broadcast programs. AR effects also have been added. The VR contents have been drawing keen attention from K-pop fans around the world.

The KT stage lineups range from new K-pop artists who are aiming for global markets to idol groups that have already established fandoms worldwide. K-pop fans around the world continue to follow up their performances with tweets and other SNS messages.

KT plans to further expand its live streaming service, targeting a growing number of Asian countries sharing interest in K-pop contents.

The telecom giant also plans to provide its domestic clients with a variety of global sports contents via Seezn, including those of the Chinese Volleyball Super League, or CVL.

Kim Hoon-bae, KT’s Executive vice president for Customer New Business Unit, says the contract to sell Korean-produced entertainment contents to Migu is the result of the telecom provider’s efforts to help promote the global reach of K-pop contents through its live streaming and other services.

As Kim noted, KT’s subsidiary Genie Music signed contracts on the provision of K-pop contents with Tencent Music Entertainment Group and FUGA in May this year.

Tencent Music Entertainment Group, a company that develops music streaming services for the Chinese market, and FUGA, a Netherlands-based music technology and services company, were the latest additions to the list of Genie Music’s some 50 overseas partners.

Among other partners are Amazon Music and TIDAL in the United States; Anghami, the Middle East; Yandex Music, Russia; JioSaavn, India; and Qobuz, France.

In April this year, KT also agreed with three global content platforms – HBO, VIKI and ODK – to provide them with “The First Shot,” a low-budget web movie, which Seezn had planned and financed.

Kim says the KT-Migu deal will help the Korean mobile carrier provide global audiences with a variety of original contents as well as K-pop contents.

HBO and its subsidiaries are scheduled to broadcast “The First Shot” in 13 countries across Southeast Asia and South Asia in October. VIKI and ODK aired the movie in North and South America, Europe, Oceania and the Middle East in April.

OctaFX Fights Fraud on the Forex Market

Leave a comment

KINGSTOWN, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, July 20, 2020 — OctaFX is an international online broker who has been providing trading services worldwide over the last nine years. They have noticed a recent rise in the number of scammers who try to associate themselves with the company and defraud traders of their funds. 

The fake websites are not that easy to pinpoint at a glance. Some of the fraudsters started acquiring security certificates and using .com as their top-level domain so that the potential traders would not notice anything suspicious when looking at the address bar. 

One way traders can avoid being defrauded by OctaFX impersonators is by paying attention to the domain name itself. The broker regularly warns its clients about fake websites and social media accounts that use different variations of the OctaFX brand name. The company stresses that it only works under its official brand name. 

The OctaFX clients should also pay attention to the payment processing. The broker only processes payments through the client’s profile on the official website or the OctaFX Trading App and the OctaFX Copytrading App.

Fighting fraudsters on the Forex market is a complex task that requires effort from all parties involved. OctaFX is doing its best to take down fake websites and social media accounts. The team told us that it would be much harder without the trader community help. OctaFX is thankful to traders who diligently report fake websites and accounts that try to pass themselves off as the broker.
