This event creates opportunities for collaboration between domestic production companies and overseas broadcasters and investors, centered on the planning and development projects of Korean studios. This year, the event will take place in four countries: Japan, Thailand, Canada, and the UK, starting with Japan.

Ten participating production companies will introduce their existing content and new projects to forty local broadcasters, production companies, investors, and distributors, and will discuss potential co-production and investment partnerships. Local OTT platforms and broadcasters, including Netflix Japan, will also attend the event.

Last year, WHYNOT Media co-produced the drama 'Heo Restaurant' with Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures and Corpus Japan. The series ranked second in viewership among Korean dramas on Japan's OTT platform ABEMA TV last year.

This year, Imaginas is signing a co-development contract for a drama with ABC TV and a co-production agreement with Fuji TV. Eo Contents Group will also sign a business agreement with TV Tokyo to promote remakes and co-productions.
