From the global rise of K-pop to the international success of K-dramas, films, and digital content, South Korea has become one of the most influential creative forces in global entertainment and IP development. This session brings together speakers whose experience spans pioneering Korea's global music exports, leading international content partnerships and co-productions, and developing globally successful entertainment formats and cross-market business strategies. Together, they will explore how global partners can effectively collaborate with Korean studios, labels, and content companies. The discussion will examine how Korea’s creative and production ecosystem differs from North America, how IP is developed for global success, and how Korean companies strategically connect with international markets across television, film, music, and digital platforms. Speakers will share practical insights into partnership models, cultural considerations, financing approaches, and the realities of working with one of the world’s most dynamic and export-driven entertainment industries.
