Earnings to Follow Production Costs 2018. 7. 13 Company Studio Dragon (253450) Update Earnings to follow production costs ● The first and second episode of Studio Dragon’s tentpole drama Mr. Sunshine got a viewership rating of 8.9% and 9.7%, respectively, the highest ever for a tvN drama. ● The company’s 2Q earnings will likely fall just short of consensus, but we believe that its progress in enhancing content quality has been outstanding. ● We hike our target price to KRW140,000. With the global OTT market still in its infancy, Studio Dragon’s production costs should rise over the mid- to long term. WHAT’S THE STORY? Mr. Sunshine off to good start: The first and second episode of Mr. Sunshine aired Seungwoo Yang , CFA on July 7 and 8, respectively, logging viewership ratings of 8.9% and 9.7%, the highest Analyst ever for a tvN drama (the previous highest figures went to Goblin—6.3% for the first [email protected] episode and 7.9% for the second). While we should continue monitoring the trend, the 822 2020 7813 initial ratings for Studio Dragon’s second tentpole drama of 2018 are impressive. According to the media, the weekend drama’s total production costs reached KRW40b, and the drama should prove a massive commercial success thanks to: 1) Netflix buying global copyrights to the drama; and 2) lofty weekend primetime ad slot prices (KRW18.4m, which exceeds that charged by terrestrial broadcasters). 2Q preview: Our estimates have the company’s 2Q operating profit rising 1.4% y-y to KRW9.3b, just shy of consensus (KRW10.3b) due to an absence of tentpole dramas (ie , AT A GLANCE insignificant overseas sales; excludes the sale of Live copyright to Netflix). Nonetheless, strong viewership ratings for its dramas have highlighted the firm’s progress in enhancing content quality. My Mister and What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim (both are broadcast on Wednesdays and Thursdays) have secured high viewership ratings, while Lawless Lawyer Target price KRW140,000 (16.9%) and Mr. Sunshine (both are aired on Saturdays and Sundays) have made a big splash. Current price KRW119,800 Raising target to KRW140,000: We revise up our 12-month target price by 40% to Market cap KRW3.4t/USD3.0b KRW140,000 though the current price looks somewhat demanding. Its per-episode Shares (float) 28,037,240 (23.9%) production costs recently surged to KRW1.7b (vs KRW300m-500m, previously) on: 1) 52 -week high/low KRW119,800/KRW57,800 greater demand from Netflix for Korean content; and 2) the growing potential of the Avg daily trading KRW18.9b/ global OTT market (which includes China). Its present market cap (KRW3t) is justified by value (60-day) USD16.8m an average production cost of KRW1.2b/episode. Considering that US content production ONE-YEAR PERFORMANCE costs exceeds KRW4b on average per episode, we believe that Studio Dragon’s production costs will rise over the mid- to long term, buoying its earnings. 1M 6M 12M • Studio Dragon (%) 9.0 74.9 n/a Upside momentum: The popularity of Mr. Sunshine, the conclusion of a production Vs Kosdaq (%pts) 16.4 86.4 n/a contract for Netflix Original Series dramas in 2H18, and the signing of contracts with Chinese OTT operators KEY CHANGES • Downside risks: Delays in content production/signing supply contracts, and the (KRW) New Old Diff falling valuation of growth stocks Recommend.

We believe that Studio Dragon’s global copyright sales to copyright sales Netflix will drive up its production costs, which should prove to be the greatest source of earnings growth momentum. Mr. Sunshine’s total production costs reached a reported KRW40b or KRW1.7b per episode, far higher than its past average of KRW300m-500m/episode but still below the figures at its US and Chinese peers. If the company starts supplying dramas to Chinese OTT operators, its production costs could climb further. Production cost s to rise Based on long-term assumptions—of a P/E of 20x, a net margin of 15%, and production of 40 over mid- to long term dramas pa —Studio Dragon’s current market cap would imply a per-drama production cost of KRW20b. This would be below its assumed 3Q18 figure (of KRW13b, which includes Mr. Sunshine), but should prove easily attainable, as: 1) the company’s tentpole drama production costs are trending upwards; and 2) the firm may come to produce more dramas as Netflix Original Series. Our new target price of KRW140,000 is based on a production cost assumption of KRW23b per drama and KRW100b per tentpole drama (see table 3). Table 2.

  • Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Temporary Lull
    Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Temporary lull Media 2Q18 review: Temporary lull due to absence of tentpoles For 2Q18, Studio Dragon delivered consolidated revenue of W74.3bn (+19.6% YoY ) and operating profit of W7.3bn (-17.6% YoY). Revenue was 8% above the consensus Company Report (W68.5bn), but operating profit missed the consensus (W9.3bn) by 21%. Licensing sales August 9, 2018 were tepid, as 2Q18 was the only quarter of the year with no tentpole titles (i.e., those with production cost of W1bn per episode). Meanwhile, pro duction costs for regular titles increased, which was good for revenue, but bad for margins. That said, we view the 2Q18 profit figure as the minimum level of profits that can be expected, regardless of the commercial success of the company’s titles. (Maintain) Buy Programming revenue was strong, growing 41.1% YoY to W34.1bn, thanks to budget increases. All of the company’s six titles in 2Q18 were aired on captive channels. Target Price (12M, W) Following the success of Live and My Mister in March, dramas like What’s Wrong with 150,000 Secretary Kim (June) also did well, both critically and commercially (average ratings: +1.5%p). Licensing sales grew 9.5% YoY to W28.8bn. Despite the absence of tentpoles, Share Price (08/08/18, W) 96,000 overseas sales continued. The company also recognized some VoD sales of regular titles, sales of older titles, and part of the licensing sales for Live from Netflix (sold in 1Q18). Other revenue slipped 1.9% YoY to W11.4bn.

  • THE GLOBAL APPEAL of KOREAN TELEVISION DRAMAS a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate
    MELODRAMATIC AND FORMULAIC: THE GLOBAL APPEAL OF KOREAN TELEVISION DRAMAS A Thesis submitted to the FAculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partiAl fulfillment of the requirements for the degree off MAster of Arts in CommunicAtion, Culture and Technology By KAthryn Grace HArtzell, B.A. WAshington, D.C. April 16, 2019 Copyright 2019 by KAthryn Grace HArtzell All Rights Reserved ii MELODRAMATIC AND FORMULAIC: THE GLOBAL APPEAL OF KOREAN TELEVISION DRAMAS KAthryn Grace HArtzell, B.A. Thesis Advisor: MAtthew Tinkcom, Ph.D. ABSTRACT International fervor for KoreAn pop culture has constituted a contra-flow against Western mediA hegemony. Since 1997, the global rise of South KoreA’s entertAinment industries has come to be known as the KoreAn WAve, or Hallyu. Contra-flows—subaltern cultural exchanges that move in opposition to Western hegemonic mediA (Thussu 2007, 11)—Are complex, under-investigated, And controversiAl in their importAnce as they exhibit what Arjun Appadurai describes as “disjunctures between economy, culture, and politics” (Appadurai 1996, 33). In contra-flow, cApitAlist power structures are insufficient to understAnd why mediA texts are disseminated across borders, cultures, or lAnguage. This study expands on the investigation of the KoreAn WAve by examining one of its central entertAinment exports—KoreAn dramAs—for their exhibition of hybridized and glocAlized genre conventions. I employ a multimethod approach to both estAblish the cinemAtic lAnguage through which KoreAn dramAs tell their stories and to test the sAlience of this framework with non-KoreAn audiences. First, I anAlyze five KoreAn dramAs populAr with English-speAking viewers—utilizing a close reAding—for their use of a melodramAtic narrative mode.

    PROFESSIONAL VS NON-PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATION OF KOREAN TV DRAMAS Jessica Hall Abstract Can non-professional subtitles be a successful replacement for professional subtitles? The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in the English subtitles of Korean TV drama series between those written by paid translators for Netflix, and those by volunteer fansubbers for Rakuten Viki. This study will explore the main differences between the two styles of subtitling, the potential reasons for these differences, and the reception of both kinds of subtitles among audiences by reviewing opinions shared on online discussion forums such as Reddit and Viki Discussions. These forums will also be used to explore online public opinions about the ethics of Viki as a fansubbing platform and the implication of unpaid translation for the industry. Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Fansubbing Fansubbing, short for fan-subtitling, is a unique style of subtitling in which overseas media content is translated by untrained fans over the internet. Fansubbing began in the 1980s with the translation of Japanese anime into English by fan groups in the USA due to a lack of access to content, as well as a desire for a more source-oriented approach to its cultural aspects (Perego & Pacinotti, 2020). Due to these origins, fansubbing has been most often associated with Japanese anime. In 2006, Díaz-Cintas and Muñoz Sánchez defined fansubs as, “fan-produced, translated, subtitled version of a Japanese anime programme,” (2006:37). But as global interest and technology developed, the practice expanded to include other languages as well as other types of audiovisual content such as films, so that fansubbing now describes the unpaid creation of subtitles for films or TV series from or to any source or target language.
