From theaters to living rooms, thriving as killer content
Highlighting own IP value and expanding production capabilities

Next Entertainment World, which recently achieved 5 million admissions with the film 'Milsu' and released original IPs (intellectual properties) such as the Disney+ original series 'Moving,' is drawing attention in the content industry by continuously delivering hit works since early this year, driving momentum in the content sector.

From Slam Dunk to Milsu... Blockbusters That Drew Audiences

The start of this year's box office success was 'Slam Dunk.' Distributed in January, 'The First Slam Dunk' attracted 4.73 million viewers. This summer, preparations began six months in advance to release director Ryu Seung-wan's 'Milsu.' Surpassing 5 million admissions, 'Milsu' achieved the highest revenue among the Korean films in the 'Big 4' released during the same period, despite having the lowest production cost.

Box Office Momentum Extends to Home and Overseas

The momentum of success extended beyond theaters to homes and overseas markets. 'Doctor Cha Jeong-suk,' which recorded JTBC's highest viewership rating of 18.5% this year, is a work produced by Studio&New, a content production subsidiary of Next Entertainment World. Additionally, 'Doctor Cha Jeong-suk' was released worldwide through Netflix, ranking second in popularity among non-English series.

Currently, Studio&New is expanding its stage to global OTT platforms and is playing a key role as a savior for Disney+. The Disney+ original series 'Moving,' produced by Studio&New, has been at the center of attention since its release on the 9th. According to FlixPatrol, it ranked first worldwide in the Disney+ TV show category for the 34th week. Not only in the Asia-Pacific region but also on the U.S. platform Hulu, it became the most-watched Korean original series in terms of viewing hours during its first week of release.

Next Entertainment World stated, “NEW continuously invests in discovering talented creators and original IPs based on its discerning selection of works, focusing on enhancing the quality of content. Along with Studio&New, which combines drama production experience and cinematic insight, we will highlight the value of NEW’s own IPs and expand our production capabilities as a global studio.”
