May is known as “family month” in Korea, with Koreans celebrating Children’s Day on May 5th and Parents’ Day on May 8th. Although it seems the Covid-19 pandemic is still some way from being over, the social distancing does not deter Koreans from marking the occasions with their loved ones.

That is why SK Broadband is offering the “B tv Family” with the coming of spring, to connect families in spite of proximity.

B tv Family comes with a range of services, including high-speed internet, WiFi, IPTV and an artificial intelligence (AI) set-top box device.

According to SK Broadband, B tv Family is an ideal and practical Parents’ Day gift in the time of the pandemic. Parents living apart from their adult children are forced to spend Family Month alone due to the Covid-19 crisis, unable to gather with their loved ones.

With the B tv Family, sons and daughters in their 30s and 40s can bring joy and happiness to their parents even when they are miles apart.

The B tv Family pack features the “Happy Senior” plan for seniors, priced at 5,500 won ($5) monthly, a video on demand gift service, family photo sharing service, AI care for parents priced at 2,200 won per month, a television karaoke and high-speed internet and WiFi service — all with a 40 percent discount from the regular price.

B tv Family has been receiving a positive response from customers so far. Parents who have to spend a lot of time indoors can enjoy various content through the internet connection and IPTV the B tv provides, while the AI care service for parents sets their children’s hearts at ease by reminding their elderly parents to take pills or to take a regular stroll outside.

The B tv Family costs 29,700 won per month with a 3-year contract, a 40 percent discount from the regular price of 49,500 won. Adult children pay the bill for their parents with the B tv Family payment plan.

“At the heart of the SK Broadband’s Lovely B tv is the value of family, happiness and joy,” an official at the company said. “In that sense, B tv Family will help spread happiness and connect family members, sharing warmth with each other.”
