Naver TV shutdown reshapes Korean video landscape, boosts CHZZK live-streaming niche

Naver TV ended after 14 years, handing YouTube unopposed dominance in general video. However, CHZZK (Chijicik) has carved out a defensible niche in live streaming by absorbing Twitch's exit, reinforcing the platform rivalry narrative and the shift toward shortform (Clip) and live. This structural change directly impacts where BJs and creators will operate and how monetization works.
