ABSTRACT

This study empirically analyzes the impact of personalized recommendation algorithms on user experience (UX) and satisfaction across South Korea's leading OTT services—Netflix, TVING, and Coupang Play. Drawing upon the Technology Acceptance Model, UX design principles, and flow theory, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining online surveys and in-depth interviews with men and women in their 20s and 30s. The findings reveal statistically significant differences in user experience and satisfaction across platforms based on their recommendation algorithms; however, the effect size was limited. This suggests that other factors—such as content quality, pricing, and exclusive offerings—play a more substantial role in shaping user satisfaction. Notably, a strong positive correlation was found between users' perception of recommendation algorithms and their level of engagement, indicating that such systems are key to enhancing user immersion. In conclusion, while personalized recommendation algorithms are important, they alone are insufficient. A sophisticated algorithmic design and an integrated UX strategy are essential for maximizing their impact.
