I. Teabing prices and services
1. Teabing Pricing – Monthly & Yearly
Prior to discussing TVING’s price, TVING is a CJ-affiliated OTT service company established in October 2020, independently from CJ ENM. Therefore, TVING only provides real-time TV viewing and VOD replay services centered on tvN and JTBC. The number of original content from TVING is increasing, giving it its own competitive edge among numerous OTTs. Teabing prices are as follows.
Monthly TVing price (same as Wave)
Basic – 7,900 won
Standard – 10,900 won
Premium – 13,900 won
Annual Teabing Price
Approximately 25% discounted price
Basic – 71,000 won
Standard – KRW 98,000
Premium – KRW 125,000
teabing price
Price for in-app purchase (monthly) (same as Wave)
Basic – 9,000 won
Standard – 12,500 won
Premium – 16,000 won
Just like Wave, you have to pay more for Tving when making in-app purchases. Perhaps because the monthly plan prices for both OTT services are the same, the in-app payment prices are also the same for both. Therefore, if you want to enjoy TVing at a cheaper price, you can pay and use TVing on a PC rather than a mobile phone.

The service content for each rate plan is also the same as Wave. The difference is that the Tving annual price (approximately 25% discount – standard KRW 98,000) is cheaper than the Wave one-year price (approximately 16% discount – standard KRW 109,000). In fact, the competitiveness of Tving and Wave appears to be the difference in content.
II. Naver Plus Membership

The contents of Naver Plus free membership are as follows. However, since it is free, there are some restrictions on using the service. Instead, by paying a certain amount, the service can be upgraded and you can enjoy basic/standard/premium services. Of course, there are more restrictions than the original three regular services.
