Granting exclusive rights to content disclosure to creators with over 100,000 subscribers


LG U+ is operating 'VR Creator Lab Seoul', a VR content production support program in collaboration with Google, to foster VR creators.
By introducing Google's VR content production program, which had previously only been available overseas, to Korea for the first time, LG U+ is promoting the revitalization of the VR ecosystem.

VR Creator Lab Seoul will support production costs of 10 million won per participating team, conduct offline training programs at the Google Startup Campus in Seoul, and provide professional filming equipment, including cameras, for VR content production.

Additionally, during the program participation period, we provide regular mentoring with experts, including training in filming and editing, to impart the know-how necessary for producing VR content.

This program is for YouTube channel creators with over 100,000 subscribers, and those who wish to participate can apply on YouTube's official page by December 30th.

Based on the content plans of the participants, the final 15 teams will be selected in January 2020 and will produce content over a three-month period from February to May.The content produced thereafter will be exclusively released on YouTube, a video sharing site, and U+VR, Korea's largest VR platform.

LG Uplus AR/VR Service Director Choi Yoon-ho said, “We hope that many creators will come into contact with VR and create unique content through this program,” and “We will continue to expand the VR ecosystem by preparing various programs to support VR content creators.”

Meanwhile, LG U+ has been continuously collaborating with Google to activate VR, a key service in the 5G era, including joint production of VR content with K-pop star idols.
