Local over-the-top (OTT) services are making vigorous efforts to step up their game in the country's heated streaming war by securing sizable investments and providing original content.
국내 온라인동영상서비스(OTT) 서비스들은 대규모 투자 확보 및 오리지널 콘텐츠 제공을 통해 불붙은 스트리밍 전쟁에서 경쟁력 강화를 위해 활발한 노력을 하고 있다.


Entertainment giant CJ ENM's streaming service Tving announced Friday that it has raised about 250 billion won ($291.1 million) in investments by issuing new stocks which were acquired by local private equity fund JCGI through a third-party allotment.
18일 거대 엔터테인먼트 기업 CJ ENM 스트리밍 서비스 티빙은 제3자 배정을 통해 국내 사모펀드 운용사 JCGI가 획득한 새 주식을 발행해 투자 2500억원을 유치했다고 발표했다.


The 382,500 shares acquired by JCGI account for about 12.8 percent of the total shares.
JCGI가 획득한 38만2500주는 전체 주식에서 약 12.8% 지분을 차지한다.


According to CJ ENM, the streaming service's enterprise value is estimated at 2 trillion won, which is almost six times higher than its 350 billion won estimation from last July.
CJ ENM에 따르면 이 스트리밍 서비스 기업의 가치는 2조원으로 추정되는데 지난해 7월 평가 3500억원에서 거의 6배 높아진 수준이다.


Tving has reached several investment deals within the past year, including a 40 billion won one from tech giant Naver in July.
티빙은 지난해 7월 테크 대기업 네이버로부터의 400억을 포함해 작년에만 여러 투자 유치를 달성했다.


Last December, the platform struck a global content licensing and distribution deal with the U.S.-based production company Paramount as part of its global strategic partnerships, securing a $7 million investment.
지난해 12월 이 플랫폼은 글로벌 전략 파트너쉽의 일환으로 미국 기반 제작사 파라마운트와 글로벌 콘텐츠 인허가 및 유통 계약을 성사시켜 700만 달러 투자를 유치했다.
