V Live+ refers to paid content types that offer unreleased, downloadable and fan catered content. Having a high chemi-heat increases the user's chances of winning an event hosted by an idol. Users can increase their chemi-beat by regularly engaging with a channel, turning on push notifications and sharing videos. The chemi-beat tracks the users chemistry with a celebrity. Every interaction contributes to the user's "chemi-beat". Users can also comment or send hearts on videos, which the idol or idols can also see in real time. Users are alerted when a channel they follow begins a live stream or uploads new content. V Live makes it easy for fans to interact with the website. V Live may broadcast programs that range from live chat sessions with fans, performances, reality shows, and award shows. V Live has over 700 channels associated with different Hallyu stars, including BTS, Big Bang, Exo, Got7, Seventeen, as well as several actors, such as Lee Jong-suk and Park Bo-young.
