Disney s over-the-top (OTT) service Disney Plus is coming to Korea next year along with Hong Kong and some Eastern European countries, the U.S. entertainment giant said Saturday.
This is expected to intensify the local video streaming service market because Apple also plans to introduce its OTT service here in 2021.
It has not been revealed when Disney Plus will start its service, but an industry source said it would be sometime between January and June. It can either open its OTT service on its own or through internet protocol television (IPTV) in collaboration with one or two local mobile carriers as Netflix had done in the beginning.
