    Lee & Kim / The Next Growth Strategy for Hallyu 79 THE NEXT GROWTH STRATEGY FOR HALLYU A Comparative Analysis of Global Entertainment Firms Yeon W. Lee Seoul School of Integrated Science and Technology [email protected] Kyuchan Kim Korea Culture and Tourism Institute [email protected] Abstract Previous policy approaches on Hallyu have been focused on the role of government engagement, particularly in fostering diversity and equal business opportunities for small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs). However, a more strategic approach to the cultural industries should be implemented by carefully examining the role of the private sector, particularly the role of large enterprises (LEs). his is important because LEs have an overarching and fundamentally diferentiated role in increasing the size of industry through their expansive value-creating activities and diversiied business areas. his study focuses on the complementary roles of SMEs and LEs in facilitating the growth of Hallyu by bringing in the perspective of value chain diversiication and the modiied value chain framework for the ilm industry. By conducting a comparative analysis of the global entertainment irms in the US, China, and Japan, this study reveals how LEs in the global market enter and explore new industries within culture and continue to enhance their competitiveness. By forming a business ecosystem through linking their value-creating activities as the platform of network, this study looks into the synergistic role among enterprises of diferent size and scale and suggests that Korea’s policy for Hallyu should reorient toward a new growth strategy that encourages the integrative network of irms where the value activities of LEs serve as the platform for convergence.

    Media/Entertainment Rise of webtoons presents opportunities in content providers The rise of webtoons Overweight (Maintain) Webtoons are emerging as a profitable new content format, just as video and music streaming services have in the past. In 2015, webtoons were successfull y monetized in Korea and Japan by NAVER (035420 KS/Buy/TP: W241,000/CP: W166,500) and Kakao Industry Report (035720 KS/Buy/TP: W243,000/CP: W158,000). In late 2018, webtoon user number s April 9, 2020 began to grow in the US and Southeast Asia, following global monetization. This year, NAVER Webtoon’s entry into Europe, combined with growing content consumption due to COVID-19 and the success of several webtoon-based dramas, has led to increasing opportunities for Korean webtoon companies. Based on Google Trends Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. data, interest in webtoons is hitting all-time highs across major regions. [Media ] Korea is the global leader in webtoons; Market outlook appears bullish Jeong -yeob Park Korea is the birthplace of webtoons.

The KCCUK, which had organised the regular film showcase event (formerly called KFN) since 2008, presented a series of new programmes –‘The Year of 12 Directors’, ‘The Year of 4 Actors’ and ‘The Year of 4 Film Professionals’ - from 2012. This ‘three-year project’ was a new extension that played a cultural diplomatic role to present the value of Korean cinema and film culture. In order to achieve it, the new project was dedicated to particular Korean movie figures whereas previous KFN had simply displayed various genres of Korean cinema. In addition, this ‘three-year project’ increased the number of screenings every week, implemented certain practices, venue hiring outside KCCUK, and Q&A and Masterclasses. Regarding such change of programming concept, this paper argues that KFN’s ‘three-year project’ aims at presenting the quality of the Korean film industry by focusing on the unique savoir-faire of some of unnoticed key figures (like filmmakers, actors, etc.) by the British audience, but whose individual contribution has been primordial in making some Korean film famous internationally.

  • Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Mr
    Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Mr. Sunshine is coming to Netflix Media Netflix deal for Mr. Sunshine worth at least W28.7bn After yesterday’s market close, Studio Dragon announce d in a regulatory filing that it Company Update signed a licensing contract with Netflix for its upcoming drama Mr. Sunshine . While the exact size of the deal (recognized as licensing revenue) was not revealed, we believe the June 22, 2018 deal is worth at least W28.7bn, given disclosure regulations. At the low end, the figure represents more than 70% of the drama’s production costs and a sharp increase from the prices of previous Netflix deals (50% of production costs). Given the rising value of content worldwide, we think it is likely the latest contract is worth more than the low-end figure . (Maintain) Buy Considering that the latest deal does not include China, we could see additional licensing sales once exports to China resume. Following the recent IPO of iQiyi, the battle for content among China’s three biggest OTTs has been intensifying . There is Target Price (12M, W) ▲ 150,000 also significant pent-up demand for Korean content. While the timing is not certain , we see potential for a deal worth over W10bn within the next year. Share Price (06/21/18, W) 116,100 Raising earnings estimates and target price; risks skew to upside Expected Return 29% We expect higher pricing of large-scale content to generate earnings leverage. We believe price gains are the result of: 1) the execution of a content business model (i.e., expanding beyond domestic ad sales to global content rights); 2) t he emergence of OP (18F, Wbn) 67 streaming giants (Netflix, Amazon, etc.); and 3) the scarcity of Korean big-budget Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 67 content.

  • Hallyu at a Crossroads: the Clash of Korea's Soft Power Success and China's Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High
    Asian International Studies Review Vol. 18 No.1 (June 2017): 153-169 153 Received March 15, 2017 Revised May 10, 2017 Accepted May 20, 2017 Hallyu at a Crossroads: The Clash of Korea’s Soft Power Success and China’s Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System Deployment HANNAH JUN* The past two decades have witnessed the remarkable success of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, with Korea welcoming a large influx of foreign visitors and benefiting from massive consumption of products ranging from Korean television and film, K-pop and lifestyle products. A more recent announcement by CJ E&M points to an even more aggressive plan for regional ubiquity, as encapsulated by Hallyu 4.0. Simultaneously, we have already felt some of the effect of policy changes in China – a core Hallyu market – as a response to Korea’s plan to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. In this sense, we see the stirrings of a clash between Korean soft power and Chinese hard power, and are uncertain who will emerge on top. This paper examines the broad success of Hallyu from key theoretical perspectives, while addressing linkages between Korean corporations and cultural power/influence that have led to an announcement such as Hallyu 4.0. This paper also highlights the recent tensions between Korea and China, specifically with respect to THAAD deployment, and outlines potential implications for businesses and policymakers through preliminary scenarios.
