CJ ENM, Japan's TBS Solidify Collaboration with Creators

Operation of Creator Exchange Program

CJ ENM announced on the 11th that it will operate a creator exchange program with TBS Group, one of Japan's five major terrestrial broadcasters. The plan is to expand the global network and strengthen content production capabilities through collaboration among creators.

Both companies recently conducted an exchange program involving about fifty creators. The workshop featured speakers such as Oh Kwang-hee, Head of Content Division at CJ ENM Studios, Son Ja-young, PD of the drama "Marry My Husband," and Lee Dong-eun, PD of the drama "Diva on an Uninhabited Island," who shared their content creation know-how. TBS Group also introduced successful cases of original intellectual property (IP) adaptations such as "Running Emergency Room" and "Bibang," sharing their planning and development capabilities.

A CJ ENM official stated, "We plan to hold workshops in the second half of the year as well," adding, "We expect that expanding collaboration opportunities for creators will accelerate content production aimed at the global market."

Both companies signed a memorandum of understanding in 2021 for joint content production and business cooperation. Since then, they have jointly planned various projects across genres including dramas, films, entertainment shows, and animations, as well as developed content formats together.
