SOOP will officially operate an emblem system starting September 29, awarding streamers six tiers based on their cumulative live broadcast user count. The Prestige emblem can be earned by reaching a cumulative total of 2 billion users or more.
The emblem system operates separately from the existing General, Best, and Partner streamer tiers. A stepped certification system has been applied so streamers can check their cumulative achievements accumulated over time as well as the remaining figures needed to reach the next tier.
The emblems are divided into Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, and Prestige, with each tier consisting of three sub-tiers. Silver is awarded based on cumulative user counts of 5 million, 7 million, and 10 million; Gold for 12 million, 15 million, and 20 million; and Platinum for 30 million, 50 million, and 80 million. Emerald requires reaching 100 million, 300 million, and 500 million, while Diamond requires 1 billion, 1.3 billion, and 1.5 billion, with the Prestige threshold set at 2 billion or more.
Earned emblems will be displayed across the SOOP platform, including on live video players, thumbnails, profiles, and personal channel pages. On the channel management page, streamers can check their current tier and the required cumulative user count for the next level via a progress gauge, and can also directly configure whether to publicly display their emblem.
Streamers who achieve Silver rank or higher will also receive physical display trophies customized by tier, engraved with the SOOP logo and their nickname. Higher tiers feature distinct materials and designs, including crystal processing and gemstone settings, with trophies for Diamond tier and above featuring a 1-carat diamond.
SOOP plans to foster a culture where streamers and users together celebrate the journey and growth of broadcasting activities, while establishing various systems to support streamers' continuous activity and growth.
Hong Ki-seok, Head of SOOP's Social Streamer Business Unit, stated, "The time and milestones that streamers have built together with users while continuing their broadcasts are meaningful achievements in themselves." He added, "We hope this emblem system serves as an opportunity to celebrate these achievements in various ways and inspires streamers to look back on their broadcasting activities while creating new goals for the future."
