[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Uplus announced on the 7th that it will exclusively provide free on-demand video (VOD) content of the performances at the 'Jaraseom International Jazz Festival,' starting from the 9th, through its IPTV service 'U+tv' and mobile media platform 'U+ Mobile TV.'

The Jaraseom International Jazz Festival is in its 17th year this year. Over the past 16 years, it has attracted 2.34 million visitors. Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), this year’s festival will be held as a non-face-to-face online festival. Instead of the traditional 3-day offline event, the festival period has been extended to 17 days, running until the 25th.

The Jaraseom International Jazz Festival can be watched live on YouTube, Naver, and U+tv channel 902, and the VOD replay will be exclusively available for free for one year on U+tv and U+ Mobile TV starting two days after the live broadcast.

Lee Geon-young, Executive Director of LG Uplus, said, "We prepared this project so that jazz lovers around the world can vividly enjoy this long-awaited festival from home through the communication network," adding, "We hope the jazz performances resonating through Jaraseom will be a healing time for all of us exhausted by COVID-19."
