Leading South Korean tech conglomerate Naver is to invest KRW40 billion ($352 million) in Tving, the streaming video platform spun off from CJ ENM. The move is intended to accelerate Tving’s expansion within Korea and abroad.
The agreement expands Naver’s equity stake in Tving to 15% and makes it the second largest shareholder, after CJ ENM.

Analysis firm Nielsen Koreanclick recently reported that Tving has 3.34 million subscribers, which would put it close behind Netflix. The company has not confirmed that figure, but says it aims to reach eight million subscribers by the end of 2023.

TVing original show “Idol Dictation Contest” (literal title), which is a spin-off of tvN’s “Amazing Saturday,” has revealed the lineup of idols appearing on the show!
The program will follow the same format as “Amazing Saturday” where the cast members have to correctly write down the lyrics they hear in order to win the opportunity to try delicious food from markets all around Korea. The difference is that “Idol Dictation Contest” will star idols instead of the usual cast members. MC Boom and mukbang (eating broadcast) YouTuber Small-mouthed Haetnim from “Amazing Saturday” are the only members from the tvN show who are also joining the spin-off.
