Virtual taekwondo makes Asian Games debut
Taekwondo officials have billed the event as "real-world martial arts meets cutting-edge virtual technology."
CJ ENM secured seven national championship titles at the 2023 Asian Academy Creative Awards. The South Korean entertainment firm announced the victory on Friday. Among the winners were "The Legend of Kitchen Soldier," a military kitchen comedy available on Tving, which claimed two awards - best comedy and best original production by a streaming service.
"Bon Appétit, Your Majesty," a romantic drama streaming on Netflix, took home the best drama series award. "Dear X," a thrilling series directed by Lee Eung-bok, won for best direction in a scripted program. Lee Won-woong's boxing survival show, "I Am Boxer," was recognized for nonscripted direction at the Disney+ platform. "Undercover Chef" was awarded best general entertainment, game or quiz program, while the dating reality show "EXchange 4" was recognized for best nonscripted entertainment.
These accolades were earned by three productions from Studio Dragon, CJ ENM's in-house drama production unit. The prestigious Singapore-based awards will see these winning titles compete for top regional honors in December.
