Four years enlivening the OTT market, WeTV has succeeded in creating trends and changing the industrial landscape in the Southeast Asian market
Jakarta, 29 September – The WeTV video streaming platform, which is part of the technology giant Tencent Video, is increasingly strengthening its position in the Over The Top (OTT) market in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. First launched in 2019, WeTV has now colored TV shows in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. Apart from that, the content can also be accessed by audiences globally.
Since the launch, WeTV has consistently presented quality content by prioritizing the originality of the content known as the WeTV Original Series. In recent years, 56 WeTV Original Series titles have been produced to enliven the entertainment content market in Southeast Asia. These various strategies and innovations put WeTV in 3rd place for OTT platforms in Southeast Asia in 2022 based on the number of downloaders.
Vice President Tencent Online Video, Jeff Han said, "As part of Tencent Video, WeTV has become the Top of Mind platform for Mandarin content in Indonesia and is an OTT that continues to grow in the Southeast Asia region. Therefore, WeTV has a strong commitment to prioritizing user tastes for high quality content."
Head of WeTV, Kaichen Li said, “WeTV prioritizes improving production quality, raising standards for good content, and innovation. This is done in order to accommodate customer tastes. WeTV is committed to becoming an OTT and investing long term in Indonesia. By presenting Mandarin content and WeTV Original Series, WeTV has been able to compete in a very competitive industry, both in Southeast Asia and Indonesia".
Four years into enlivening the OTT market, WeTV has succeeded in creating trends and changing the industrial landscape in the Southeast Asian market. In Indonesia, WeTV has become the leader, not only as the top platform for Mandarin content, but also for other premium Asian entertainment such as Korean, Thai and Japanese content for Indonesian audiences.
WeTV Country Head, Lesley Simpson said WeTV's presence in Indonesia does not just provide entertainment content, but also investment, technology transfer and especially job creation. "During its presence in Indonesia, WeTV is proud to have become a destination for fans of popular Chinese series that are popular with audiences in Indonesia.
In addition, in Indonesia WeTV also enlivens the local content industry by producing WeTV Originals involving local Indonesian resources. During the Covid-19 pandemic, WeTV was actually the most active in producing the WeTV Original series, which kept the wheels of the industry turning while the cinemas were closed, and the production crew continued to work".
To produce stunning content, WeTV is involved in every detail of the production aspect. “We ensure that every content presented to the audience is produced with careful planning. We even carry out in-depth research, analysis and optimize information technology to provide the best service for customers. One of them is the innovation of flying comments / joint comments which is very popular with audiences in Indonesia," explained Lesley Simpson.
WeTV has produced a number of original series which have become a topic of public discussion and gone viral on social media, such as My Lecturer My Husband, Imperfect: The Series, Little Mom, Antares, Layangan Putus, and Kupu Malam. Apart from that, there are also Chinese series titles which are favorites of Indonesian audiences such as The Love You Give Me, Once We Get Married, Who Rules the World, Here We Meet Again, Have a Crush on You, You Are My Glory and many others. A number of titles are also available in Indonesian audio options.
Apart from Chinese dramas, WeTV presents various other genres in the form of variety shows such as Love Signal 1-6, The Fairy Tales, Chuang 2018-2021, HaHaHaHaHa 1-3, Go Fridge and many others, as well as Chinese animated series such as Soul Land, Perfect World, Fights Break Sphere, Throne of Seal and more.
Celebrating these various achievements, WeTV held the WeTV Always More 2024 1st Inaugural Content Show in Jakarta on September 29th 2024. This event, which was held for the first time, presented popular stars such as Prilly Latuconsina, Luna Maya, Natasha Wilona, Angga Yunanda, Stefan William, Syifa Hadju, Haico Van Der Veken as well as popular Chinese artists Xing Fei and Xing Zhaolin.
Through this event, WeTV Indonesia is also announcing a series of WeTV Original Series titles that are ready to accompany the public next year. WeTV will present series from various genres that are ready to entertain, both domestic dramas, romantic comedies and adaptations of Chinese variety shows.(*)
