SEOUL, August 14 (AJP) - Global streaming giant Netflix was voted the most popular streaming platform among South Koreans, a survey reveals.

According to a survey of 1,500 users conducted by the Korea Consumer Agency and released on Thursday, participants were asked to express their satisfaction levels, with Netflix taking the top spot with an average score of 3.75 out of a possible 5 points.

It was followed by Tving with 3.66 points, Coupang Play with 3.64 points, Wavve with 3.62 points, and Disney Plus with 3.51 points.

About 20.3 percent of respondents cited the availability of diverse programs as their main reason for choosing a platform, while slightly fewer users ticked subscription fees.

Netflix earned the highest score of 4.07 points for content diversity, while Coupang Play scored 3.74 points for its relatively affordable subscription fees.

But some 12.2 percent of respondents said they experienced service disruptions due to server and connection problems.
