Jang Jong-hoon PD's 'KM Media' Joins Drama Producers Association

KM Media, a broadcasting media content production company founded in 2003 by PD Jang Jong-hoon, has joined the Korea Drama Production Association as a member.

The Korea Drama Production Association, under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, was established to improve the production environment of Korean dramas, which are at the center of the Korean Wave, and to promote the competitiveness and balanced development of drama production companies both domestically and internationally. Currently, leading Korean drama production companies such as Samhwa Networks, Kim Jong-hak Production, Chorokbaem Media, and Group Eight are members of the association.

To gain approval from the association, it is essential to undergo board recommendation and approval, present sound company financial statements, and demonstrate broadcasting program achievements. KM Media, which has created a new paradigm in media content through 19 years of honed expertise, has also been approved as a member of the Korea Drama Production Association.

Starting with a history of producing many beloved programs such as SBS TV’s Animal Farm, SBS Sunday Special Documentary, KBS Wednesday Planning, KBS2TV Friday Planning, and KBS2TV drama Homage, KM Media’s UHD special 16-episode drama Timing of Fantasy is recognized as a work that presented new possibilities for regional private broadcasting and won the Excellence Award at the 2020 Korea Private Broadcasting Awards.

Programs produced by KM Media have been exported since 2022 to Qatar Airways, Oman Air, and others, and discussions regarding content export to overseas markets to elevate the status of K-content are ongoing. Moreover, with the recent activation of OTT platforms, various media are rapidly expanding beyond domestic broadcasting to the global market, and KM Media is also preparing to produce dramas for global OTT platforms.

Showing remarkable progress in various media genres such as culture, entertainment, documentary, and drama, KM Media is expected to have a systematic production plan by 2024 and produce content that will be loved not only domestically but also in overseas markets.
