President Yoon Suk-yeol met with Ted Sarandos, Co-CEO of Netflix, and urged continued investment in K-content.

President Yoon had lunch on the 17th at the Hannam-dong residence with Sarandos, Co-CEO of Netflix, and actor Lee Jung-jae, who will appear in the second season of Netflix's "Squid Game," according to Kim Soo-kyung, spokesperson for the Presidential Office, on the 18th.

After receiving an update from Sarandos on the progress since Netflix's announcement of investment in Korea last year, President Yoon expressed gratitude for Netflix's rapid and substantial investments and requested that they continue to increase investment in K-content.

During President Yoon's state visit to the United States in April last year, Sarandos announced that Netflix would invest 3.3 trillion won (2.5 billion dollars) in Korea over the next four years. The Presidential Office stated that Netflix has been faithfully fulfilling its promised investments since then.

President Yoon and Sarandos discussed the development of the Korea-US cultural alliance through the combination of Korean content and American global platforms. Sung Tae-yoon, Chief of Policy Office, was also present during the discussion.
