UK YouTube Premium Family Plan… Up about 3,000 won
Netflix, TV, Disney Plus, etc. are raising prices one after another.
YouTube announced plans to increase subscription fees in the UK. Recently, major online video services (OTT) have been increasing their fees one after another, so interest is focused on whether YouTube premium prices will rise in Korea as well.
On the 7th (local time), the British daily Daily Mail reported that the price of YouTube’s premium family plan in the UK, which was 17.99 pounds (about 29,000 won), would increase to 19.99 pounds (about 32,000 won).
YouTube Premium subscribers in those countries said they received notification via email that their subscription fee would be increased.
“YouTube Premium was created to bring you closer to the videos, creators, and music artists you love by providing an uninterrupted YouTube experience,” YouTube said in an email. “We plan to increase prices to continue providing great services and features.” “It was reported.
The increased price is scheduled to take effect from the 21st, but some customers who are dissatisfied with the subscription fee increase are responding by filing complaints on social networking services (SNS) or saying they will stop using the service completely.
YouTube is said to be concerned about the negative reaction caused by the price increase and has even started a new page to collect ‘feedback on YouTube Premium price changes.’
YouTube price increases appear to occur at different times depending on the country. At the end of last year, Google raised the price of the YouTube Premium Family Plan in the U.S. by about $5 from $17.99 to $22.99 (about 29,000 won).
Interest in Korean YouTube premium prices is also growing.
The YouTube premium subscription fee in Korea is 10,450 won and has been maintained for about 3 years since September 2020.
Meanwhile, in addition to the recent increase in domestic and foreign OTT subscription fees for Netflix, Disney Plus, TVING, and Apple TV Plus, a crackdown on account sharing restrictions is also expected, which is expected to significantly increase the burden on users.
