Jooyoung Ahn, the director behind the Dystopian-Tech series S.He drew attention to the pace of change in Korean TV since the Covid-19s.
In an interview with the deadline, AHN discussed the global boom in the K and whether the investment could continue at the current rates.
“The market changes so quickly that it is crazy.” “Since the epidemic, the Korean drama has been dependent on the international level, but the request has stopped. Some films and shows disappear completely and then emerge again, and the change feels that it comes every two or three months, so it is difficult to predict what will happen after that.”
Netflix has adhered to billions of dollars to the content of Korea, which is now tracking films and TV programs from the United States to the service, according to the latest analysis. The likes of Disney+ and Paramount+ have achieved successes in the country of Asia, while local players such as TVing are more demand for demand and distributors, including CJ Enm who have done a good shopping on Korean content at the international level.
Ahn was in France during the weekend to promote its new program S.Who plays in the competition at the Kansiris Festival against the likes of Belgium The end of the gameIceland Reykavik fusion. The show – which plays the role of LEE SOO Hyuk, Arin, Eunsaem Lee and Nam Kyu Hee – was its global show yesterday.
The show follows a woman who has managed from birth to see red lines linking sexual partners. When a pair of glasses that give its wearer is developed with the same strength, it drowns Korea in a crisis where the societal borders are divided. Women, Hyun-Heup, played by the K-Pop Arin star, cooperates with an investigator to stop the crisis and find the person behind the glasses.
“It is a completely original concept that depends on webtoon as the red lines show how people are connected,” said Ahn. “The main topic that the masses should take away is how human society can collapse when the borders collapse.”
The exhibition tends greatly on topics such as sexual shame, technology and control risks in society to create a unique story of K, but this is initially concerned by AHN that it could limit its arrival. She was concerned that the Western masses understood this approach, given that “the East is a more traditional sexual conservative.”
However, with the choice of the offer to compete with a large number of entries, she said: “Given that people feel that the topic is new and original, what is important is what you can extract from topics that serve the interest of common people.
The series, which is internationally shopped by the Korean distributor SIDUS, has no platform yet. It depends on webtoon of the same name, although the AHN, who participated in the creation of the series, has deviated greatly from the source material, where everyone is suddenly able to see the lines S.
Ahn revealed that she is now working on a project that combines “melodrama and imagination”, and indicated that she wants to explore a story “that reveals something about human nature through creatures and sweeteners, which is a very heavy thing.”
