Apple TV+’s move to add Korean contents comes amid growing popularity of Korean dramas and movies worldwide.

Focus is now on whether Apple TV+ will launch its Korean service later this year along with its Korean content production, following the footstep of Netflix that announced Korean market entry with Okja. The launch of domestic service will allow Apple TV+ to secure more diverse Korean content for global viewers.

Apple TV+ that first debuted on November 2019 is highly anticipated to launch Korean service soon as it accelerates efforts to secure original series and shows.

Over the past year, Apple’s original series earned 73 awards after receiving 276 nominations at Golden Globes and Critics Choice.

"Pachinko," starring Yoon Yoo Jung, who is the first Korean actor to target an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Minari, which is the lead nominee for this year's Oscar, is also the original Apple TV series. TV Plus and is a co-production of Korea, the US and Japan ... Pachinko, currently filming Canada, is a novel of the same name, written by Korean-American writer Lee Min Jin, and is so complete that even former US President Barack Obama praises him.

 

Japanese colonial era "Pachinko", which begins in Yongdo, Busan, is a story spanning a total of three generations, including Koreans who lived in Japan in the 1980s. It depicts the life of a Korean resident in the United States who lived on a Pachinko slot machine. Actor Yoon Yoo Jung plays the main character of "Sunja", while actor Lee Min Ho plays the young age of the other main character of "Hansa".

 

This aggressive investment of Apple TV Plus has no choice but to look at the potential of the domestic OTT market. This is because, after Crown 19, the method of global content consumption making it difficult to watch cinemas has focused on the rapid growth of Netflix, which first came to Japan from the Internet.
