Netflix aims to solidify its streaming service leadership with various Korean series, shows and movies this year, including the highly anticipated Squid Game season 3, Culinary Class Wars season 2 and Physical: Asia featuring Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
'Our goal this year is to be there in those special moments when people find their favourite content in their busy lives,' Kang Dong-han, vice-president of Netflix Korea, said, unveiling a release line-up including seven movies, 11 series and seven entertainment shows produced in Korea.
