President Yoon Suk-yeol met with Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, and urged continued investment in K-content.
On the 17th, President Yoon had lunch at the Hannam-dong residence with Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, and actor Lee Jung-jae, who stars in the second season of Netflix's "Squid Game," according to presidential spokesperson Kim Soo-kyung on the 18th.
After receiving an update from CEO 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.
CEO Sarandos announced during President Yoon's state visit to the United States in April last year 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 this commitment.
President Yoon and CEO Sarandos discussed the development of the Korea-US cultural alliance through the combination of Korean content and American global platforms. Policy Chief Seong Tae-yoon was also present during the discussion.
