Streaming platform Content Wavve has established itself as the leading local player in South Korea through a smart strategy of commissioning buzzy originals, programming a varied spread of content, including hit Korean web dramas and comedies as well as non-scripted shows and linear channels, and offering attractive, discounted subscription packages.
Last month, the company unveiled plans to spend close to $900M (Krw one trillion) by 2025 to further expand its originals strategy, a sizeable investment that it hopes will give it the muscle to compete with its international rivals such as Netflix and Disney+ by making its own shows and films. As part of the plan, it will build its own content studio to boost its ability to produce in house.
Deadline caught up with Content Wavve CEO Lee Tae-hyun to discuss the company’s ambitious goals. Below, he reveals to us that the service is planning to officially announce its international roll-out this year.
