LG Uplus said on Oct. 26 it will introduce U+tv Today Life, an AI-powered service that provides daily information such as weather, news and finance. The service is a living-information dashboard that appears with live broadcasts when the TV is turned on and can be used with a TV and remote without installing an app or signing up. It offers weather forecasts, headlines, market indices and local information, with additional features such as linking Google Photos.

South Korea’s three mobile carriers are activating special communications measures ahead of the Chuseok holiday, when traffic is expected to surge. They are checking base station quality at major transport hubs and tourist sites in advance and will use AI-based control and 24-hour monitoring to respond to possible outages. SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus also plan capacity upgrades, stronger security monitoring and early payments to partner companies.
