The K-Content to Follow 'Good Doctor' US Remake...

콘진원 'K-Story & Comics in America'
Also Held in Japan, France, and China

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency are recruiting companies to participate in 'K-Story & Comics in America' until the 23rd. This event supports the entry of comics, webtoons, and stories into the North American market. It aims to enhance the recognition of Hallyu content and expand overseas business channels to strengthen the export competitiveness of K-content.

Notable achievements include KBS's 'Good Doctor,' which was remade locally and produced up to season 7, and Gozneok ENT's 'Trial at Cheonggyesan,' which signed an option contract with the local studio Universal TV. These results came from the Korea Creative Content Agency inviting buyers such as local broadcasters, film and animation producers, and OTT companies to arrange exclusive business matching. A representative from the agency stated, "This year, we plan to continue multifaceted support such as content pitching, visits to local companies, and assistance in producing English business materials."

The agency will also hold 'K-Story & Comics' in Japan (May), France (July), and China (September). It continuously establishes a foundation for the overseas expansion of domestic content by supporting participation in the Korean joint pavilion at events such as New York Comic Con (October), Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany (October), and Angoul?me International Comics Festival in France (January next year). Ji Gyeonghwa, head of the Hallyu Support Division at the agency, said, "We will discover and promote various customized overseas projects focusing on emerging and key markets," adding, "From business matching to pitching, we will strive to make K-content a game changer that transforms the export landscape of the Korean economy."
