NAVER TV Video Downloader
Save 네이버 TV clips as MP4 at the quality the uploader published, straight from your own machine.
Why download NAVER TV videos with ViralMint?
NAVER TV is where a great deal of Korean broadcast and K-pop content lands first, and it is aggressively geo-aware: a fair amount of the catalogue is served only to Korean IP addresses, and no downloader can fetch a stream the platform declines to send you. For everything that is available to you, NAVER delivers HLS with separate video and audio renditions, which is the usual reason a browser-extension grab ends up silent or capped at 360p. ViralMint selects the top rendition of each and remuxes them losslessly into one MP4. Channel URLs expand to their video lists, so following a show week to week is a batch job rather than a weekly copy-paste.
How to download from NAVER TV

Copy the NAVER TV video URL
From tv.naver.com, copy the share or page URL — e.g.
https://tv.naver.com/v/00000000 -
Paste it into ViralMint
Open the ViralMint desktop app and paste the URL into chat. The planner detects the NAVER TV URL and triggers the download automatically — no flags, no command line.

Get the mp4, transcript and AI insights
The video lands in the Videos page with a local Whisper transcript and AI-extracted hook / structure / tone — ready for clip extraction or repurposing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a video fail with a region error?
Because NAVER restricts part of its catalogue to Korean IP addresses. That check happens on their servers before any bytes are sent, so a local downloader cannot work around it — if the page will not play for you in a browser, it will not download either.
Why do other tools give me a 360p file?
They take the first HLS rendition the manifest lists rather than the best one. ViralMint reads the whole manifest, picks the highest video and audio renditions and muxes them, so a 1080p upload arrives as 1080p.
Can I download a whole NAVER TV channel?
Yes. A channel URL expands into its video list and the queue runs unattended, which is how most people archive an ongoing show rather than chasing each new episode by hand.

Supported URL Example
https://tv.naver.com/v/00000000Equivalent yt-dlp command
If you already use yt-dlp, the desktop app's NAVER TV download is equivalent to running:
yt-dlp -f "bv*+ba/b" --merge-output-format mp4 "https://tv.naver.com/v/00000000"ViralMint also auto-runs Whisper transcription, downloads the thumbnail, and extracts AI hook / structure / tone insights — steps that take a separate command chain in raw yt-dlp.
