LG Uplus is set to launch a combined subscription package that includes YouTube Premium and Google AI Pro. This move comes as domestic telecom companies increasingly utilize AI subscription services as key tools for customer retention and differentiation, targeting users who seek both content consumption and AI capabilities.
Starting June 2, LG Uplus will offer the "YouTube Premium + Google AI Pro" package through its subscription platform, Yudok.
The monthly fee for the package is 29,000 won, approximately 34% cheaper than subscribing to the two services separately. VIP members and above can apply an additional discount coupon of 4,000 won, bringing the monthly cost down to 25,000 won.
YouTube Premium provides ad-free video viewing, background playback, offline storage, and access to YouTube Music. Google AI Pro, based on Google's generative AI service, features the latest Gemini 3.1 Pro engine for text and image generation, a "Deep Research" function that analyzes vast information to create comprehensive reports, and integration with Gmail and Google Docs. The package also includes 5TB of Google One cloud storage, shareable among up to five family members.
LG Uplus explained that this product is aimed at creators and highly engaged users who consume content on YouTube while extracting insights or generating images using AI. Previously, Yudok offered a Google AI Pro package linked to everyday coupons from brands like Domino's Pizza, Olive Young, and Mega Coffee, but this new offering focuses on digital productivity.
"Through the synergy of these two powerful services, customers will experience seamless innovation from content viewing to AI-based tasks," said Jo Yong-seong, head of partnership business at LG Uplus. He added, "We will continue to introduce customized products that precisely analyze diverse customer usage patterns, establishing LG Uplus Yudok as the top choice for AI subscriptions."
The trend of integrating generative AI subscriptions into telecom plans and platforms is already evident in the industry. SK Telecom offers OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus subscription as a benefit linked to its AI service, A.Dot. Meanwhile, KT has opted to connect its Copilot-based AI service to corporate clients through a partnership with Microsoft.
