CJ ENM brings K-drama, K-pop channels to Amazon

American viewers will soon have two new free channels featuring Korean entertainment, accessible directly through Amazon Prime Video, without the need for a subscription. CJ ENM, the company behind the global hit movie Parasite, announced the launch of these brand channels, "CJ ENM K-Stories" and "CJ ENM K-Pop," on Friday.

The main channel, "CJ ENM K-Stories," will feature popular TV series and movies, beginning with its inaugural lineup of acclaimed titles.
