On the 21st, the ‘Disney Content Showcase APAC 2024’ was held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Center in Singapore, where the new original series for Disney Plus in the Asia-Pacific region for 2025 was introduced. This event was organized to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Disney Plus and provided a preview of upcoming theatrical releases and streaming content.
Carol Choi, head of original content strategy for Disney in the Asia-Pacific region, assessed that Disney Plus has grown with positive responses from both the public and critics since its launch. Notably, among the new content released on Disney Plus, nine were Korean series, with ‘A Shop For Killers’ becoming the most-watched series in the Asia-Pacific region. The Korean variety show ‘Is This Right?!’, featuring travel stories of BTS JiMin and JungKook, also gained immense popularity not only in the Asia-Pacific region but worldwide.
Disney Plus’s Korean original content is achieving success by winning awards at major ceremonies, which Choi emphasized as the result of focusing on premium content strategy and talent development. She also added that authentic storytelling connects audiences globally.
Disney Plus plans to further strengthen its lineup of Korean and Japanese content. In particular, next year will see the release of season 2 of the original series ‘Gannibal’, contributing to the leap of Korean content to a global level. This development shows that storytelling in the Asia-Pacific region can become a key pillar of global entertainment. The future direction of Disney’s content strategy is drawing attention.
