The Walt Disney Company Korea announced on October 30 that it will begin rolling out its Ad-Supported Standard Membership, priced at 7,000 won per month, including VAT, on November 10. During the phased rollout, the date when each user can sign up may vary. All users will be able to subscribe starting November 17.

Ads may appear before or during content on the new membership. It supports resolutions of up to 1080p Full HD, 5.1-channel audio, and simultaneous streaming on up to two devices. For an additional 4,000 won per month on top of the 7,000 won fee, subscribers can add one family member or friend who does not live in the same household.

Prices for the existing plans are also going up. Starting with new subscribers who sign up on or after November 10, the Standard Membership will cost 11,500 won per month and the Premium Membership will cost 16,500 won per month. Existing subscribers can continue using their plans at their current prices for the time being.

Kim So-yeon, CEO of The Walt Disney Company Korea, said, "We hope viewers will enjoy world-class films, premium local content, ESPN sports programming, and more on Disney+ with a wider range of choices and a more flexible viewing experience."
