Korea, China and Japan have come together to produce an upcoming MBC drama, according to the show's promoter Tree J. Company on Friday.

Tree J. announced in a press release that China's leading production company Beijing Hualu Baina Film&Tv Co., Ltd. will oversee the production while Japan's FujiTV, WOWOW and Index and Korea's W media Contents, BnC Entertainment and HnB Pictures will take part in creating the series titled "Strangers 6."

"Strangers 6," which will air in the latter half the year, tells the story of six individuals from Korea, Japan and China assigned by the highest level authorities of their respective countries to protect the three countries' joint economic area from being interfered by an organization.

"We believe that the video industry should unfold worldwide starting in Asia. From the planning stages, we have set our goals as creating 'Strangers 6' with popular contents from overseas and a with a new business model," a PR official from W Media Contents was quoted as saying.

He went onto explain that it will be a way for each of the countries to share and form a mutual understanding on the exchange of culture.
