”One month's worth is a big burden, one day's worth is enough”...People buying one-day tickets for online video STREAM services = South Korean report

``Even if you pay for one month, you probably won't watch it every day for 30 days. A one-day ticket is enough.'' As prices continue to rise, people's daily consumption behavior is also changing. Basically monthly fee
An increasing number of people are limiting their consumption to ``one day'' of online video streaming services and sports gyms that can be accessed by paying a fee. Save money by reducing fixed expenses that are automatically settled
Its purpose is to. A company that was selling "online video STREAM service 1-day ticket" stopped selling it in 2022 due to pressure from various platforms, but it is still selling individually.
Human trade is thriving. Second-hand trading sites are recruiting for "party" formats in which people share their accounts and subscribe to online video STREAM services, and they also accept accounts for one day.
You can easily find sites that let you rent by the unit. Prices vary from 1,000 won (approximately 110 yen) to 3,000 won (approximately 330 yen).
Those who purchase these products cite "savings" as their biggest advantage. Mr. Park (30), an office worker, said, ``One season of the TV series is spent on weekends.
