Naver, Webtoon CEOs head to Silicon Valley to meet Netflix executives
Top executives from Korea's Naver and its webtoon subsidiary are set to meet with Netflix leadership this week in Silicon Valley, signaling a potential deepening of strategic collaboration between the digital content giants. According to Naver on Monday, the IT giant's CEO Choi Soo-yeon and Webtoon Entertainment CEO Kim Jun-koo are slated to visit Netflix headquarters on Thursday at the invitation of the US streaming platform. It will mark the first meeting between Choi and Netflix executives. While details have not been disclosed, the invitation-only nature of the meeting has sparked speculation about new collaborative opportunities at both the content and platform levels. The two companies have been strengthening ties since last year. In November, Naver integrated a Netflix subscription benefit into its paid membership program. Under the deal, users paying 4,900 won ($3.55) per month for a Naver Membership were granted access to Netflix's ad-supported plan, which costs 7,000 won -- a move widely seen as a bold and innovative bundling strategy. The so-called Naver-Netflix partnership has shown tangible results. Netflix's monthly active users across the country surged from 10 million in June 2023 to over 14 million after the Naver partnership was launched. Naver saw a 1.5-fold increase in average daily new signups to its membership service. On the content side, Naver Webtoon has emerged as a key intellectual property supplier to Netflix. Original webtoon-based series such as 'All of Us Are Dead,' 'Sweet Home' and 'Trauma Center: Golden Hour' have topped the global charts, cementing the webtoon platform's value on streaming platforms. Despite market rumors, both sides denied that the upcoming talks would explore the integration of Naver Webtoon content directly into the Netflix mobile app. 'It's a meeting arranged purely within the context of a partnership,' a Naver official said. 'The CEOs are indeed scheduled to meet with Netflix executives at their invitation, but there are no predetermined agendas or confirmed outcomes,' the official added.

10 anticipated K-drama Season 2 releases you shouldn't miss
'Moving' Season 2 In November 2024, it was announced that Moving —Disney+'s hit K-drama based on Kang Full's popular webtoon about superpowered teens and their equally gifted parents—will be returning for a second season. The series stars established actors Zo In-sung, Han Hyo-joo, Ryu Seung-ryong and Cha Tae-hyun alongside rising stars Lee Jung-Ha, Go Youn-Jung and Kim Do-Hoon. Although most major storylines were tied up by the end of the first season, several key scenes hinted at the possibility of a Season 2. With Kang Full returning to pen the script, fans can expect a deeper dive into untold backstories, new powers and even bigger threats. 'A Shop for Killers' Season 2 Based on the novel by Kang Ji-young, Disney+'s action-packed thriller follows Jeong Ji-an (Kim Hye-jun) as she fights to protect her late uncle Jeong Jin-man's (Lee Dong-wook) covert weapons shop for assassins from falling into the wrong hands. Packed with stylised action sequences, compelling characters and a layered plot, the drama was a huge hit for Disney+. And with lingering questions and plenty of stories left to tell at the end of Season 1, it's no surprise a second season has already been greenlit. 'Bloodhounds' Season 2 According to Netflix, boxing heroes Kim Gun-woo (Woo Do-hwan) and Hong Woo-jin (Lee Sang-yi) are returning for round two. After taking down ruthless loan sharks in Season 1, the dynamic duo faces an even bigger challenge. In the second season, they must take on Baek-jeong (Jung Ji-hoon, in his first villain role), the head of an illegal underground boxing league determined to drag Gun-woo and Woo-jin into his dark and dangerous world. 'All of Us Are Dead' Season 2 Soon after the release of the hit zombie thriller All of Us Are Dead , Netflix's screen adaptation of the popular webtoon Now at Our School by Joo Dong-geun, a second season was announced. It's no surprise, given the show's strong reception and the lingering questions surrounding the Season 1 survivors. Fans are particularly excited to learn about Choi Nam-Ra's (Cho Yi-Hyun) future and whether it's possible for Yoon Gwi-Nam (Yoo In-Soo) and Lee Cheong-San (Yoon Chan-Young)—who both appeared to have met their demise in Season 1—to return in the second season. 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' Season 2 Extraordinary Attorney Woo , the K-drama about a brilliant young lawyer with autism spectrum disorder, won the hearts of fans and critics alike. Thanks to its overwhelming success, the production company expressed their eagerness to continue the story of everyone's favourite extraordinary attorney with a second season. And while screenwriter Moon Ji-won has reportedly signed on to write the script for Season 2, prior commitments as well as possible scheduling conflicts with its cast have put the project in limbo. In a recent interview with Park Eun-bin, whose nuanced performance brought Woo Young-woo to life, the star mentioned that she has yet to receive updates on the project, further raising questions about when—or if—Season 2 will move forward. See also: Park Eun-bin's top 7 roles that prove the K-drama queen's versatility and range 'The Second Signal' Earlier this month, tvN announced that a second season of Signal , the critically acclaimed time-travel crime thriller, is coming in 2026. Reprising their roles for Season 2 are Kim Hye-soo as Cha Soo-hyun, Cho Jin-woong as Lee Jae-han and Lee Je-hoon as Park Hae-young. Also returning for Season 2 is writer Kim Eun-hee. In the first season, the three detectives, connected across time by a walkie-talkie, work together to solve cold cases. Fans are eager to revisit the drama but are particularly invested in learning about the fate of Detective Jae-han, which was hinted at at the end of the first season. Don't miss: 10 K-dramas that will never (and should never) be remade 'Light Shop' Season 2 Light Shop is based on a webtoon by Kang Full, the same creative mind behind Moving , another K-drama hit from Disney+. While there's been no official announcement regarding Season 2, the ending of Season 1—with its reveal of multiple light shops—left plenty of room to expand the story. Adding fuel to fan theories is the post-credits scene, which featured characters from Moving and Kang Full's webtoon Timing , hinting at a potential shared universe. Fans may or may not get a second season of Light Shop , but here's hoping that characters from the drama will pop up in Moving or other future Kang Full projects. Don't miss: Joo Ji-hoon is everywhere and we're not complaining 'Trauma Code: Doctors on Call' Season 2 Netflix's sleeper hit Trauma Code: Doctors on Call , which is based on the web novel Severe Trauma Center: Golden Hour by Dr Lee Nak-joon, introduced audiences to the brilliant Dr Baek Kang-hyuk (Ju Ji-hoon) and his equally amazing trauma unit team. Thanks to its global success, coupled with director Lee Do-yoon's and lead star Ju Ji-hoon's eagerness to return, alongside unresolved story arcs and the introduction of compelling new characters like Kim Jae-won's Seo Dong-ju, fans are crossing their fingers for a second season. 'Study Group' Season 2 The action comedy K-drama, based on an ongoing webtoon also called Study Group , follows Yoon Ga-min (Minhyun) as he pursues his life goal of achieving academic success amidst intense martial-arts fights with school bullies. A second season has yet to be announced, but the webtoon and the ending of Season 1 leave plenty of story and character arcs to explore. What happens to Park Geon-yeob (Hong Min-gi)? Why did Lee Han-kyung (Han Ji-Eun) hand in her resignation letter in the post-credits scene? But it's Ga-min himself who gives the biggest hint when he says, 'Our college entrance journey continues.'

Park Eun-Bin Holds Power Over Life And Death In ‘Hyper Knife'
Yoon Chan-young and Park Eun-bin star in 'Hyper Knife.' Gifted surgeon Jeong Se-ok is talented enough to perform a life-saving brain dissection. However, Se-ok, played by Park Eun-bin in the new Disney k-drama Hyper Knife, is also ruthless enough to randomly end a life. Se-ok, who lost her medical license a while ago, performs illegal brain surgery in remote places, with the help of fellow doctor Han Hyun-oh, played by Park Eun-bin (Moving, Alchemy of Souls ), and helper Seo Young-joo, played by Yoon Chang-young (All of Us Are Dead, Hope or Dope). Se-ok saves those she loves—or those who pay her well—but she's not afraid to kill those who threaten her or get in her way. After abandoning the Hippocratic Oath, she became so skilled at operating in the shadows that the police can't find any evidence of her illegal surgeries. She has a grudge against her former boss, neurosurgeon Choi Deok-hee, played by Sol Kyun-gu (A Normal Family, Phantom, Kill Boksoon), but he knows she's the only surgeon competent enough to help him with his own medical problem. Medical k-dramas are rarely just about medicine. Sometimes there's a mystery to solve, sometimes there's romance to resolve and this year Trauma Code even incorporated heroic action scenes. Hyper Knife takes the medical k-drama in another direction. It's a noir thriller about a doctor who is also a killer. Does she care about the people she saves or is she just interested in the challenge provided by their surgeries? It's hard to tell. Park Eun-bin plays a brilliant brain surgeon with some darker impulses. Viewers who have seen Park Eun-bin play endearing characters in dramas such as Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Castaway or The King's Affection, will likely find her transformation impressive. Whatever character she's played in the past, her eyes sparkled and she conveyed a bright optimism. Her character's face in Hyper Knife is blank and dispassionate. Her eyes seem empty. She has no remorse when it comes to killing those she deems dangerous. 'Why do you keep trying to kill people,' a worried Young-joo asks Se-oh. 'Why cant I,' she answers. Why not? She dispenses her own brand of justice. Director Kim Hyung-jun, who previously directed the political comedy My Fellow Citizens, opens the drama with an engagingly moody scene set in an empty Buddhist temple. The first episodes feature plenty of interesting and unsettling cinematic visuals. Blood pulses and gushes, staining surgeons' gowns. Cloyingly-sweet cherries slide off and discolor a slice of cheesecake. Cigarette embers burn in the dark and popsicles pointlessly drip red sticky liquid. Evidence is burned in a raging fire. A brain is neatly dissected. A throat is expertly slit. Hyper Knife is a dark story driven by Park's chilling command of her character. There are many scenes in which viewers might want to look away, but never when Park's face is on the screen. Hyper Knife airs on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu in the U.S.
