DreamWorks Animation's CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said Friday that he had an animation underway being developed with a "Korean element."

He didn't want to give away too many details about what the future production was about but simply said it would have a historical element from Korea.

"There is a very specific story that comes out of a historical or maybe mythical Korean element, but we can't share details at this time," he told reporters Friday in downtown Seoul, before heading to the CJ Global Creative Forum held at Sejong University in Seoul.

"Great stories could come from any part of the world and great story ideas are being discovered in Asia as well," he said.

Katzenberg also said a "sizeable" portion of a TV adaption of Turbo, DreamWork's recently released animation film, will be produced in Korea, making it the first time the company is bringing its production to Seoul.

The DreamWorks CEO met with President Park Geun-hye earlier at Cheong Wa Dae discussing ways to utilize Korean elements and ways for the animation company to cooperate with Korea's television animation producers.

Korean-American director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who directed "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Kung Fu Panda 3," was also present at the meeting.

At the CJ Global Creative Forum held Friday afternoon, Katzenberg met with Korean director Bong Joon-ho of "Snowpiercer" and discussed DreamWork's pioneering role in the development of 3D films.

Katzenberg also visited Everland, a major amusement park run by Samsung, on Saturday, to watch "Madagascar Live!" a musical performance DreamWorks and Everland have co-produced and currently being played here.

The musical which made its debut in July last year has become the most popular performance Everland has ever released since its opening in 1976, attracting an audience of 800,000.
