  "account": "Busan, South Korea - The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), under the Ministry of Commerce, has announced its plans to showcase Thailand's film and content industry at the Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) 2026, set to take place in Busan, South Korea from October 10-13, 2026. This marks Thailand's debut as the Country of Honor, offering a unique platform to exhibit the industry's potential to a global audience. The DITP will also host the flagship event \"Thai Night Busan 2026,\" aimed at promoting Thailand's entertainment industry and fostering international collaborations.\n\nSouth Korea, renowned as a leading global hub for film and entertainment, holds a significant share of Asia's content exports, with annual figures surpassing $12 billion. This sector plays a pivotal role in the country's digital media and over-the-top (OTT) platforms. The DITP has consistently supported Thailand's film and entertainment industry at ACFM events from 2012 to 2019, but the \"Thai Night\" activities were suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The return of this event underscores the increasing global interest and appreciation for Thai films, series, animation, and digital content.\n\nHer Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi will preside over the opening ceremony of Thai Night Busan 2026, a gesture of encouragement and prestige to Thailand's entertainment sector. The event, themed \"Reimagining Thailand,\" will be held at the Park Hyatt Busan on October 11, 2026, and will present Thailand's creative assets and innovative content industry through a blend of creativity and innovation. The Thailand Pavilion, jointly organized by the DITP and the Department of Cultural Promotion, will host 20 Thai companies, focusing on business matchmaking, content sales and licensing, market expansion, and networking among industry professionals and stakeholders. The initiative seeks to bolster exports, elevate Thailand's global brand image, and stimulate the growth of the country's creative economy. The hashtag #DITP #ThaiNightBusan2026 #ReimaginingThailand will be used to track the event's impact. The organizer, DITP, bears full responsibility for the content of this announcement.",
