Over 80 production houses, 95,000 people in S. Korea involved in Netflix content over past 10 yrs

Over the past decade, Netflix has collaborated with more than 80 Korean production houses and employed over 95,000 individuals, including cast members and crew, behind the scenes of its content, the company announced on Friday. This extensive involvement was highlighted on a special webpage created to commemorate Netflix's 10th anniversary of entering the Korean market.

Since launching its services in South Korea in 2016, Netflix has been the lead producer or co-producer of more than 200 Korean original titles. These productions were filmed at more than 100 domestic locations, showcasing a diverse range of settings across cities and villages throughout the country. Approximately 80% of Netflix's global subscribers have engaged with Korean content, demonstrating its widespread appeal.

In recognition of Netflix's significant contributions, more than 200 Korean originals have made it to Netflix's global top 10 list since the streaming platform began compiling such rankings in 2021. A noteworthy aspect of these productions is that one out of every three Korean originals was the brainchild of a first-time director or writer, highlighting the platform's role in nurturing emerging talent.

To ensure the localization of Korean content, Netflix worked with 122 partners, encompassing a variety of specialists including dubbing studios and subtitle experts, throughout the specified period.
