Netflix is planning its largest-ever lineup of South Korean content, with 34 new and returning titles set to roll out this year.

The streaming giant made the announcement Tuesday. It said that audience data showed “over 60% of all Netflix members” watched Korean titles last year. The nearly three dozen new programs include a range of television series and films, which run the gamut from thrillers to dramas. The company declined to disclose how much it planned to spend. In 2021, company executives said Netflix\n \n planned to invest about $500 million into Korean content, on top of $700 million already spent since 2016.

” One of those shows is “Squid Game,” which shows contestants playing deadly children’s games to win cash prizes. The survival drama became the company’s top show worldwide in 2021. Last year, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” a series that followed titular character Woo Young-woo as “a newbie at a top law firm and a woman on the autism spectrum,” also shot to the top of the streaming platform’s charts for several weeks.

ffs ..there is nowt decent on it now and ya putting that stuff on it

Too much!!! Need just better content.

So guess I'm canceling my subscription..

'Netflix wants people to keep paying for it instead of switching to alternatives, so they're putting actually interesting shows on'

Let’s gooooooo!!!

Why?

Just click 👇👇

Glad Netflix is free.

Enough! There's already nothing to watch on Netflix. 50 more Korean shows isn't what we want.

No thanks

They will all have an outstanding Season 1, a half assed Season 2 and cancelled before Season 3 leaving 34 plot lines up in the air and unanswered. Netflix is a waste of money and has become a punchline to many bad jokes. netflix

Awesome raise monthly price again please

can't they make masterpieces such as 'The Irishman' and 'Munk' anymore

They should concentrate on making new first-run material available rather than sinking money in shows that they ultimately cancel a season or two in anyway. Watching south korean dubs is not going to keep people paying constantly higher prices.

I wonder how South Koreans will cope with Netflix canceling their favorite new shows after only a single season.

C'mon man my Mrs now understands Korean

We get to watch squid game again

They gonna give us some North Korean stuff as well? 👀 I want to see some communist propaganda!!!

I'm a big fan of Korean movie 👍

IRGCterrorists IRGC is a terrorist organization!!

Not surprised. South Korea has some great shows on Netflix!

You have 60,000,000 followers, but you can’t get more than 200 likes 😂. Maybe you should quit spreading nothing but lies.

Crash landing on you!!! Excellent.

I really like them. The dubbing is excellent quality and the storylines are inventive and usually funny in all the right the right places.

So what's this, they subtitle stuff from Netflix South Korea, add this to the North American catalogs then turn around and increase subscription prices because of all this 'new' content they are offering? It's fine to share stuff between Netflices but don't use it to raise prices

Horrible the programming of Netflix, it is pure trash

right on!

I like their barbeque, but their programming?

I love these shows, however I do wish they could all be dubbed in English. I know I know, first world problems 🫣.

Yes please! Need more of the show The Glory - so good!

Hallyujah!

Can't stand the voice overs, so generic.
