2 Years of Collaboration... Subsidiary LiveTone Also Joins In

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Global online video service (OTT) company Netflix announced on the 6th that it will enter into a two-year partnership with Dexter Studio, a visual effects and content specialist company, and LiveTone, a subsidiary of Dexter.

Dexter Studio and LiveTone have showcased a higher level of Korean content by handling post-production for Netflix series and films such as "Kingdom," "Space Sweepers," "The School Nurse Files," and "Time to Hunt," based on their outstanding expertise.

Through this partnership, Netflix will strengthen post-production collaboration with Dexter Studio's DI division responsible for color grading and LiveTone, the sound-related subsidiary in charge of sound design and mixing. Previously, Netflix also deployed a specialized team for content post-production at its Seoul office.

Ha Jung-soo, Netflix Post Production Director, said, "The reason Korean content presented by Netflix can move the world is because we focus on high-quality completion by working closely with domestic partners who have outstanding expertise in each field, down to the finest details. Based on this partnership, we hope to further expand cooperation with domestic creators, making it an opportunity to raise the global success of Korean content along with the status of the domestic creative ecosystem."

Meanwhile, Netflix invested more than 770 billion KRW from 2016 to 2020 to produce about 80 Korean content titles. This year, it announced plans to invest approximately 550 billion KRW in Korean content throughout the year.
