LG Uplus to Launch YouTube Premium and Google AI Pro Bundle on 'Udok' on June 2

LG Uplus will launch a subscription package combining 'YouTube Premium' and 'Google AI Pro,' a first in South Korea. Available starting June 2 through its subscription platform 'Udok,' the package allows users to enjoy ad-free video viewing and generative AI services with a single payment.

Pricing and Benefits The monthly fee for this bundle is 29,000 won, which is approximately 34% cheaper than subscribing to both services individually. In particular, LG Uplus membership customers of VIP tier or higher can purchase it for 25,000 won by applying a 4,000 won monthly discount coupon.

  • *Main Services Provided**
  • YouTube Premium: Offers ad-free video viewing, background playback, offline storage, and YouTube Music services.
  • Google AI Pro: Supports advanced AI features, including text and image generation utilizing the 'Gemini 3.1 Pro' engine, deep research, and Google Workspace integration.
  • Cloud Storage: Includes 'Google One 5TB' cloud storage that can be shared with up to 6 people.

LG Uplus planned this product to reflect the changing customer usage patterns, which increasingly pursue both video viewing and AI utilization simultaneously. Following the provision of lifestyle-oriented benefits for the Google AI Pro bundle on 'Udok' last year, the company has significantly enhanced creator-centric benefits this time.

Currently, 41 brands are available on 'Udok,' offering a variety of content, shopping, and lifestyle services. LG Uplus intends to strengthen its digital service competitiveness through partnerships with global partners such as Google and YouTube, and to lead the market by enhancing the competitiveness of its AI-based infrastructure and platform services, going beyond simple telecommunications.

Cho Yong-sung, Executive Managing Director of Partnership Business at LG Uplus, stated, "This product is perfectly targeted at the lifestyle of highly engaged users who consume high-quality content through YouTube while simultaneously producing knowledge and creative works with Google AI Pro." He added, "Through the synergy of these two powerful services, customers will experience seamless innovation, from content viewing to AI-based tasks." He also commented, "We will continue to introduce customized products based on precise analysis of customers' diversified usage patterns, establishing the perception that LG Uplus Udok is the best for AI subscriptions."
