Netflix announced 34 new Korean titles to hit the streaming platform in 2023, including a diverse array of series and movies.
The upcoming titles, which Netflix calls their “biggest-ever lineup of Korean films and series,” includes 21 scripted shows, five reality shows, six movies and two documentaries.
Korean content on the platform has continued to grow, with over 60 percent of all Netflix users watching Korean titles last year, according to a release from the company on Monday.
“Over the last year, Korean series and films have regularly featured in our Global Top 10 list in more than 90 countries, and three of Netflix’s most-watched shows ever are from Korea,” Don Kang, the vice president of content for Netflix (Korea), said.
New shows include the thriller “Gyeongseong Creature,” set in the spring of 1945 prior to Japan’s surrender in World War II and the division of Korea, in which a young man and woman — Park Seo-joon (“Itaewon Class”) and Han So-hee (“My Name”) — must fight monsters to survive.
