Bugs Music's new "Live Album Art" feature [NHN BUGS]

Music service Bugs Music added a "Live Album Art" feature, a first for Korea, its operator NHN Bugs said on Tuesday.

According to Bugs, the new service will allow 5-second video clips to be used as the online album covers on the Bugs Music's mobile app.

Fifteen albums have been chosen to start with, including girl group Oh My Girl's "Nonstop" and Kang Daniel's "Magenta."

More albums will take advantage of the new service in the future, Bugs said.

Users can click on the #livealbumart category in the search section of the app to see all the albums that use moving album covers.

"Bugs Music provides a fresh and unique experience with the 'Live Album Art' service," said NHN Bugs.

"Bug will use its 20 years of service know-how and technology to provide unique functions [for users]."
