History
TVING was launched on May 31, 2010, by CJ HelloVision. In January 2016, the service was transferred to CJ E&M. On September 17, 2019, CJ E&M and JTBC Studios, now SLL signed an MOU to establish a new joint venture company to operate the service. On October 1, 2020, the joint venture company was launched as TVING Corporation and Yang Ji-eul became the first CEO of the entity. On April 29, 2021, TVING announced that it would no longer provide real-time TV channels for free with paid subscription needed in order to view the content moving forward. On June 30, 2021, it was announced that Naver has invested ₩40 billion into TVING Corporation, making Naver the second largest shareholder group at 15% after CJ E&M.
During the TVING Connect online event, TVING announced plans to launch the service in Japan and Taiwan by 2022. TVING is also in talks with Naver subsidiary Line Corporation for launching the platform in other Asian countries, along with the United States and Europe. As of August 2025, they haven't rolled out their global expansions as they planned.
In December 2021, TVING announced a paternship featuring CJ content with Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS) and launch Paramount+ as a content hub on TVING, which was set to be launched on June 16, 2022. It also announced that it would release K-dramas co-produced by both CJ (including Studio Dragon and newly formed CJ ENM Studios) and Paramount.

Why this record matters
The phrase “south Korean online streaming service” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12621401. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2016, 2019 and 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
