Why This Anniversary Matters?
Netflix launched in South Korea in January 2016. Since then, the country has racked up more than 210 titles in the global Top 10, according to What’s on Netflix. That makes it one of the streamer’s strongest creative hubs.
Seoul follows similar 10-year events in Japan, South Africa and Italy, where Netflix used the occasion to announce new slates. Fans naturally expect big news here too. You can read more about the company’s history on Wikipedia.
