Recently, a variety of contents services over the internet are becoming popular, among which MCN(Multi Channel Network) platform services have become popular with the generalization of smart phones. The MCN platform is based on streaming, and various factors are added to improve the service. Among them, augmented reality sticker service using face recognition is widely used. In this paper, we implemented the MCN platform that masks the augmented reality sticker on the face through facial emotion recognition in order to further increase the interest factor. We analyzed seven facial emotions using deep learning technology for facial emotion recognition, and applied the emotional sticker to the face based on it. To implement the proposed MCN platform, emotional stickers were applied to the clients and various servers that can stream the servers were designed.

Purpose - The Millennial Generation, which grew in the wake of the spread of the Internet and rapid changes in the media environment, is rapidly moving from the traditional broadcasting environment to the Internet-broadcasting environment in terms of content acceptance. With the emergence of UGC (User-generated content), the change in the status of single-person content creators enables the growth of multi-channel networks (MCN), a new content-distribution platform and an agency concept for single creators. Youtube-based MCN produces multiple single star producers and casts and provides its own video series through Youtube. It is also emerging as a major M&A target for global media providers in terms of providing content to a wide range of consumers with the same interests and consumption characteristics. In addition, for the Millennials generation, which are part of their lives, MCN is becoming the most suitable media for TGIF (Twitter, Google, i-phone, Facebook). Accordingly, this study defines newly emerging MCNs and analyzes the factors for accepting MCN-produced content based on the push-pull-mooring (PPM) model. Research design, data, and methodology - An empirical analysis is performed through a questionnaire survey. For this purpose, 204 people who have experience of watching MCN were studied. Collected data is processed through analysis of a structural equation model using R to test the hypothesis. Results - For the MCN service to become an alternative to existing media, it is necessary to continuously promote cultural diversity and diversity of attempts that conventional media cannot provide. It is the attractiveness of the alternative that has the greatest influence on the intention to switch to a MCN service. When we look at MCN content so far, certain patterns such as game progress, introduction, food, and chat rooms have already appeared. We need to overcome this and develop a completely new conceptual content that we have never seen before. This requires a more generous viewer perception of the topics covered. For diversity, linguistic and verbal violence should be tolerant in common sense to provide a foundation for securing cultural diversity. Conclusions - In this study, we tried to develop a comprehensive approach to the substitution effect of MCN. In terms of academic achievement, the PPM model is used to enhance the utilization of media and broadcasting. Practical implications are to provide an analytical framework for verifying alternative or complementary effects when viewers switch to MCN.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between media engagement, media empathy, and media value of MCN sports broadcasting. To achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted on 324 MCN sports broadcast viewers. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to confirm validity, and Cronbach's α test was performed to investigate reliability. In addition, correlation analysis was performed to verify discriminant validity, and linear regression analysis was performed to verify the research hypothesis, and the following conclusions were drawn. Media engagement had a positive effect on media value. Media engagement had a positive effect on media empathy. Media empathy has a positive effect on media value.
