I spend much more time watching OTT services than TV. It allows you to view only extracts of various topics you want to see for a short period of time, and keeps recommending related videos to me, so you can watch without knowing the time passes.
Today, we will introduce YouTube Premium, which allows you to use this groundbreaking OTT service more effectively.
It has been 3 years since I started using YouTube Premium. My usage is 1,880 hours, and I’ve paid for it monthly, but I’m not burdened. The advantages (reasons) and disadvantages of using this membership are summarized below, and let’s take a look at them one by one.
1. Remove Ads (reduce my precious time)
The biggest reason for subscribing to premium is probably the removal of ads. In some cases, one ad is attached, but in many cases, it is necessary to skip after playing two ads. Besides this, like the video above, it shines even more in the case of a long running time of about 40 minutes. I never see an ad that pops up every 5-10 minutes.
2. Ability to multitask with the app turned off (using PIP)
If you press the home button when you suddenly receive a Kakao Talk or search Naver, playback stops and starts again when you enter it again. Likewise, if you sign up for a membership, you can continue to view in a small pop-up window, and it runs in the background even if the screen is turned off.
3. Save videos offline (watchable anytime, anywhere)
Offline storage is also provided so that you can view what you want to see later in an environment where the Internet environment is not established. This is a good tip for viewing on the go after offline storage if it is not an unlimited service charge. 유튜브 프리미엄 할인카드
In addition, there is a function that recommends saving as customized themes of the styles I often see.
4. Unlimited use of YouTube Music 이베이스매뉴얼
This is a benefit I really like. You can play YouTube Music for free and unlimited. The advantage over other music players is that even if you do not select the next song after selecting one song, the song customized for that genre is played, and there are many cases where the songs that you forgot when listening to old songs come out and bring back memories.
The downside is that it doesn’t support lyrics. That’s a really sad part.
1. The price is high compared to other countries.
2. We do not provide services provided in other countries.
The contents of the above shortcomings will be supplemented through the discount method below.

Is there a price difference due to different devices?

You can pay the same price.
Let’s check your lifestyle and patterns first and see if it’s more beneficial to register for membership.
how to discount youtube premium
First, payment by Shinhan National Happiness Credit Card
Among the benefits of the National Happiness Card provided by Shinhan, there is a 50% discount on Netflix and YouTube. However, the previous month’s performance must be 300,000 won or more, and the maximum amount of support is 5,000 won.
When you use the Shinhan Themore Card, you can get a discount of about KRW 1,000 even with the double benefit earned, but this card is currently discontinued.
Second, KT, Android won 2,000 discount.
This is an event hosted by KT. After applying for the event in Google Play, when paying through Google Play, if you choose to pay with KT, you will receive a 2,000 won discount. The period starts from February and is only available until June, so KT members should apply immediately to receive benefits.
Third, bypass other countries (VPN)
It is to use a VPN to change my current location to another country such as India or Argentina. If you do this, you can use it for less than 2,000 won per month, but this is an expedient and you have to be careful as there is a possibility that your account may be deleted if you get caught. Also, changing my location with a VPN is actually a bit reluctant.
Fourth, using family membership (Share Panda)
Actually, this is a bit of a disappointment, but in other countries, there is a function to share an ID with 5 family members (friends) after subscribing to one account, but it is not provided in our country. The above-mentioned case of detour in other countries is also an expedient caused by the price difference between our country and other countries. Why is it expensive only in Korea and there is no family membership?
But we also enjoy this family membership. Sharepanda provides this service. Simply put, it is understood as an agent that connects the applicant to the member using an overseas account.
Share Panda shares share prices for various OTT services such as Netflix, Teabing, and Disney as well as YouTube, and you can sign up for a family membership at 6,500 won for 3 months or 21,000 won for a year.
I am planning to sign up immediately after checking the contents once again because I did not know the contents, and looking at the reviews, everyone is using it without any problems, and even if there is a problem, the counselor immediately responds to it and solves it immediately.
How to cancel membership service
Now, for those who no longer need the membership service, we will also share how to cancel it.
Click Show my icon in the upper right corner.
It goes to the window where you can check my information and clicks the purchase item and membership in the middle.
It is marked because I am already a premium member, and since I am a subscriber before the rate increase, it is marked at 8,600,000 won per month. Click the red box.
The details are displayed in more detail, and if you click inactive, you can unsubscribe.
Here, in the case of suspension, it seems to be Google’s marketing strategy to stop for 6 months and not be able to process expenses, that is, to give room to use it again next time, and we have to press cancel as it is in order to cancel it.
In this way, YouTube Premium benefits, prices, discount information, and all methods up to cancellation were shared. Depending on your lifestyle, you may not need it, but for those who watch videos and play music every day, it would be good to refer to the discount method and sign up.
