When Disney+ landed in Korea in November 2021, many expected it to instantly become a key player in the heated streaming market already dominated by Netflix. But much to their disappointment, the streaming service had a rocky start, failing to win the local streaming consumers’ hearts with issues such as poor quality of subtitles, lack of customer service communication and user-unfriendly interface.
Disney+ has unveiled an exciting array of upcoming titles set to premiere on the platform later this year, promising a mix of science fiction, action and drama.
The hit film franchise "The Roundup" is gearing up for its fourth installment, promising audiences enhanced comedy, more intense action, and a deeper storyline, according to the film's director, Heo Myeong-haeng.

Actor Lee Do-hyun shared his insights on the challenges and excitement he experienced while making his silver screen debut in the occult movie "Exhuma." The film has swiftly gained recognition as one of the standout Korean films of 2024.

Actor Song Joong-ki is returning to Netflix with the new original movie "My Name Is Loh Kiwan," where he will portray the titular character. This comes three years after his appearance in the platform's sci-fi blockbuster "Space Sweepers."
