CJ ENM said on Thursday it will launch 2 advertising-based free streaming (FAST) channels on Amazon Prime Video in the United States.
The two channels are CJ ENM K-Stories and CJ ENM K-Pop.
CJ ENM K-Stories will be programmed around dramas and films owned by CJ ENM. In its first month, it will offer dramas such as "The K2", "Her Private Life" and "Tale of the Nine Tailed", and films including "Veteran" and "Exit".
CJ ENM K-Pop will showcase content produced by digital music studio M2, including the "MPD Fancam" series and K-pop music programmes. The content lineup for the two channels will change monthly.
CJ ENM plans to use the channel launch to expand FAST distribution of its existing library content and broaden its touchpoints with U.S. viewers.
Kim Do-hyeon (김도현), head of CJ ENM's Content Distribution BU, said viewers will be able to conveniently enjoy CJ ENM's popular dramas, films and music content through the FAST channels without additional cost. He said the company will continue to expand various collaborations and broaden its touchpoints with K-content fans worldwide.
