Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free tier?

Some older content is available free with ads. However, recent broadcasts and Wavve Originals require a paid subscription.

How does Wavve differ from TVING?

Wavve focuses on the three major broadcasters (KBS, MBC, SBS), while TVING specialises in CJ ENM channels like tvN, OCN, and Mnet. Your choice depends on which shows you watch.

Can I access Wavve outside South Korea?

Wavve is restricted to South Korean IP addresses. Access from abroad is generally not supported under the terms of service.
