, ‘[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyun-ah] New ID (CEO Park Joon-kyung) is rapidly expanding its ‘FAST Commerce’ business through global FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) channels, accelerating the revenue growth of domestic companies overseas.

,
, IPTV and FAST provide identical content services from a user perspective, from menu composition to operating real-time channels and home shopping.’,
,
, Collaboration with KOBACO for Global Commerce Expansion,
,
, ‘New ID operates over 95% of FAST channels worldwide, offering Korean companies the opportunity to directly advertise to global viewers.’,
,
, ‘Recently, in collaboration with KOBACO (Korea Broadcast Advertising Corporation), they presented a new model to open the global advertising market for domestic companies seeking to expand overseas.’,
,
, ‘The first partner selected is the vegan beauty brand ‘FULLY’. FULLY is launching an ad campaign targeted at 1.5 million local viewers through platforms such as Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, TCL+, and BINGE Korea, to raise its recognition in the North American market.’,

,
, ‘Meanwhile, ad-supported free streaming service (FAST) is rapidly expanding, and Samsung TV Plus has intensified concerns for paid broadcasting by actively incorporating TV home shopping. Samsung TV Plus includes Hyundai Home Shopping and Data Home Shopping (T-commerce) providing real-time broadcasts alongside home shopping services.’,
,
, ‘FAST platforms are not subject to broadcast-related regulations, allowing free broadcasting of home shopping channels. For instance, Hyundai Home Shopping broadcasts its T-commerce channel occupying the entire screen without adhering to existing Ministry of Science and ICT regulations.’,
,
, ‘The presence of TV home shopping on FAST is expected to increase. As traditional TV revenue declines, TV shopping companies are considering FAST entry to expand their channels.’,
,
, ‘However, the paid broadcasting sector, particularly IPTV, is facing unequal competition due to regulatory disparities between FAST and OTT services. While FAST and OTT provide content freely without much regulation, IPTV is subject to regulations under the Electric Communications Business Act, Broadcasting Act, and IPTV Act, making service innovation challenging. Consequently, the IPTV sector is demanding hybrid broadcasting that combines paid broadcasting and FAST channels.’,
,
, ‘Experts suggest that the Ministry of Science and ICT should permit hybrid broadcasting to strengthen the competitiveness of the paid broadcasting market.’,
