The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is intensifying its efforts to bring Korean dramas, entertainment TV and documentaries to the international stage by supporting production companies in their global expansion endeavors.
The culture ministry announced Monday that, in collaboration with the Korea Creative Content Agency, it is recruiting participants for the Series on Board tour program, which supports production houses with their intellectual property (IP) so that they can directly enter overseas markets.
The Series on Board program is a showcase that first began last year, allowing Korean production studios to meet directly with overseas partners such as production companies, broadcasters and online streaming service providers to expand their respective businesses.
Last year’s inaugural showcases in London, Paris and Los Angeles led to the export of Korean dramas to the United States, the United Kingdom and France, with Korean companies having the opportunity to engage with major companies such as Warner Brothers, Apple TV+ and BBC Studios, to pitch their works and explore future collaborations.
Through last year’s event, ENA’s 12-episode drama “The Kidnapping Day” was chosen to be remade in the U.K.
The scope has been broadened this year to include not only dramas but also documentary and entertainment TV production studios.
Japan, the world’s third-largest content market, was selected as the new venue based on last year’s feedback. The Series On Board-Tokyo showcase will be held from Sept. 23 to 25, followed by events in London on Nov. 6 to 8 and in Los Angeles on Nov. 11 to 13.
“At the event, production companies will have the opportunity to discuss collaboration options from broadcasting rights sales to co-production and remakes with overseas buyers. In addition, they can receive various support including 토토 preview screenings, investment attraction, production of promotional materials such as guidebooks, interpretation and promotion,” the ministry said in a statement.
Key institutions such as the Korea American Leaders in Hollywood and the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television in the U.K. will explore opportunities to invest in and collaborate on Korean content.
“Content IP is the driving force for small- and medium-sized production companies to leap onto the global stage,” Kim Yong-seop, director of the ministry’s media policy bureau, said. “We will actively support Korean content to spread around the world and create success stories.”
