V Live

The service was available for streaming via web browsers on Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as apps on iOS and Android devices.

V Live was a medium in which Korean celebrities could reach a global audience and has allowed non-Korean speaking fans worldwide to intimately interact with their favorite Hallyu idols.

There was an online community on V Live for fan translators who created foreign subtitles so that more people could enjoy the content worldwide.

Moreover, V Live launched special mini-concerts called "V Heartbeat" to connect K-pop and V-pop stars.

The app was aimed at reaching international fan bases, particularly those in Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

[14][15] V Live had over 1,450 channels associated with different K-pop stars, including BTS, Big Bang, Blackpink, Winner, iKon, Exo, Red Velvet, Got7, Gfriend, TXT, Ateez, Treasure, Monsta X, BtoB, Astro, Apink, T-ara, NCT, Twice, Stray Kids, Itzy, Iz*One, Infinite, Mamamoo, Rocket Punch, Golden Child, Enhypen, Oneus, Victon, Seventeen, Shinhwa, Super Junior, Double S 301, Heo Young-saeng, and Jessica Jung.

Users could increase their chemi-beat by regularly engaging with a channel, turning on push notifications, and sharing videos.
