SEOUL, Oct. 16 (UPI) —<\/span> South Korean entertainment giant CJ ENM and Warner Bros. Discovery said Thursday that they signed a multi-year partnership to co-produce and distribute Korean programming, expanding the global reach of K-content as streaming competition intensifies.<\/p>\n

Under the deal<\/a>, CJ’s streaming platform TVING will be integrated into HBO Max across 17 Asia-Pacific markets, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and several Southeast Asian countries.\n<\/p>\n

Starting in early 2026, the branded TVING hub will premiere new original K-drama titles and feature scripted and unscripted content from CJ ENM’s library. Ahead of the launch, several K-content titles will be available on the hub in November, including the premiere of the buzzy psychological thriller Dear X<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The two companies will also co-produce new Korean series for worldwide distribution on HBO Max.<\/p>\n

For CJ ENM, the studio behind Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning Parasite <\/i>and hit shows like Netflix’s Crash Landing on You<\/i>, the deal marks a major push to extend its streaming brand beyond Korea. For Warner Bros. Discovery, it offers a foothold in Asia’s fastest-growing streaming markets and access to one of the world’s most dynamic entertainment pipelines.<\/p>\n

“K-content captivates audiences everywhere with its creativity and originality,” CJ Group Vice Chairwoman Miky Lee said in a statement. “At CJ ENM, our mission has always been to connect people through the power of storytelling. This partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery takes that mission to a new level.”\n<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav<\/a> called the collaboration “a cornerstone of our commitment to great locally relevant stories in key markets around the world.”<\/p>\n

The partnership comes as streaming competition in Asia heats up, with TVING and local rival Coupang Play locked in a battle for local dominance. Korean dramas, meanwhile, have become a prized asset among global streaming platforms, led by Netflix’s success with series such as Squid Game<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Further details, including specific projects and launch timelines, will be announced in the coming months, the companies said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
