So, you signed up for TVING to watch that one K-drama everyone is talking about, maybe something like the mega-hit 'Lovely Runner', and now you're done. It happens. TVING, launched in 2010, is a fantastic South Korean streaming service, but keeping a subscription you don't use is just throwing money away. With plans ranging from about $7 to $13 a month, you can save up to $156 a year by canceling. This guide will walk you through canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android without the headache.
How to Cancel tving Subscription on Desktop
Canceling directly on the TVING website is your best bet if you signed up there. Honestly, their site can be a bit of a maze, especially with the language barrier. I had to use Google Translate on the whole page, and even then, some buttons were confusing. Be patient.
1 Log In to Your TVING Account
Go to the official TVING website and log into your account. This is the first, and sometimes hardest, step if you don't read Korean. Get your browser's auto-translate feature ready.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
Find your profile icon, usually in the top-right corner. Click on it to open the account menu. You're looking for something that translates to 'My Account' or 'Settings'.
3 Find Your Subscription Details
This is the tricky part. You need to find the subscription management page. It might be labeled '이용권/캐시 내역' (My Vouchers/Tickets) or something similar. It's not always obvious.
4 Locate the Cancel Button
Look for a button or link that says '자동결제 해지' (Cancel Automatic Payment). You might have to click through a couple of menus to find it. They don't make it easy.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
TVING will probably ask you why you're leaving and show you what you'll miss out on. Just push through and confirm the cancellation. You should see a confirmation message on the screen.
How to Cancel tving Subscription on iOS
If you subscribed to TVING through your iPhone or iPad, you have to cancel it through Apple. You can't do it from the TVING app or website, which is a common point of confusion for a lot of people.
1 Open Your iPhone/iPad Settings
Don't bother looking in the TVING app. Apple handles all subscriptions through the App Store. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and Apple ID are right at the top of the Settings screen. Tap on it.
3 Go to Subscriptions
In the Apple ID menu, find and tap on Subscriptions. It will show you all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Select the TVING Subscription
Scroll through the list until you find your TVING subscription. Tap on it to see the details.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
You'll see a big red 'Cancel Subscription' button. Tap it and confirm your choice. Your subscription will now show an expiration date instead of a renewal date.
How to Cancel tving Subscription on Android
For Android users, the process is managed entirely within the Google Play Store. It's pretty straightforward, but you have to remember to go through Google, not the TVING app itself.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Just like with Apple, Google handles the billing. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top-right corner of the screen to open the menu.
3 Select 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google keeps track of all your recurring charges.
4 Tap 'Subscriptions'
Tap on Subscriptions to see a list of all your active subscriptions managed by Google Play.
5 Find TVING and Cancel
Find TVING in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel subscription button at the bottom and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm.
Cancel tving Subscription with Email
TVING's primary support is through a contact form on their website. Go to the TVING Customer Center page, find the '1:1 문의하기' (1:1 Inquiry) link, and fill out the form. Expect responses to be in Korean and potentially slow due to time zone differences. There is no dedicated public support email address.
Before you cancel, know this: TVING won't give you a refund for the current billing period. You'll keep your access until the day your subscription was set to renew. Also, your account won't be deleted, just your access to paid content will be removed. There isn't an option to just pause your subscription, so cancellation is your only real choice.
