The Broadcasting Media Communications Committee said on Monday it held a "local broadcasting content exchange and cooperation event" in Seoul.
The event was set up to support overseas expansion of local broadcasting content and cooperation on co-productions. It brought together 20 local broadcasters and seven overseas broadcasting-related companies from 5 countries, including China, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and Indonesia.
Participants discussed possibilities for overseas distribution and co-production through screenings of selected local broadcasting content and business meetings.
Overseas participants included MangoTV of China, Tokyo Docs of Japan, AVJET International Media of Taiwan, SCTV, Vietba Group and VTVcab of Vietnam, and Inter Solusindo Film of Indonesia.
Park Dong-joo (박동주), the committee's secretary general, said he hoped the event would serve as an opportunity to introduce local broadcasting's strong content overseas and build lasting cooperative ties. He said policy support would continue so local broadcasters can secure new opportunities in domestic and overseas markets.
