Panda TV has partnered with FANZA.
According to Panda TV, a live streaming platform, on the 18th, services will begin through its Japanese subsidiary Hibiki Media on the local content platform FANZA.
On this day, Kang Young-min, CEO of Double Media, stated, "This entry into Japan is one of several attempts to create a structure where individual broadcast BJs can reach more audiences and earn more," adding, "Starting with Japan, we plan to expand our services to various regions and continuously grow the viewer base that BJs can connect with. Please keep an eye on how Panda TV will change in the future."
This expansion aims to broaden the operational base for individual broadcast BJs and increase their points of contact with viewers. Panda TV is building an environment where individual broadcasters active across diverse fields, not limited to specific broadcasting types, can meet more viewers.
FANZA is Japan's largest entertainment content platform operated by Digital Commerce Co., Ltd. It offers various contents including videos, live chat, e-books, and online retail. As Panda TV content will be exposed to local users with accumulated experience in paid content consumption, it is expected not only to attract new viewers but also to create new revenue opportunities for BJs.
To support differentiated global communication aligned with the Japan entry, Panda TV has independently developed the HYBE Lead system, which utilizes AI technology to achieve both rapid translation and meticulous editing simultaneously. Combined with ultra-low latency streaming technology 'LIVE+', it provides a new viewing experience that enables real-time interaction without constraints of distance or language.
Through this, Panda TV BJs will be able to broadcast their existing programs directly to Japan without additional preparation. Especially for broadcasts with high communication focus such as gaming, music, and talk shows, it is expected that points of contact with overseas viewers will expand significantly.
Double Media plans to continuously broaden the operational base for BJs starting with this entry into Japan. By introducing various services aimed at increasing revenue and alleviating broadcasting operational burdens within the year, the company intends to create a better environment for individual broadcasting.
