South Korean entertainment giant CJ ENM has linked up with the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) UK Business Centre to support the continued growth and reach of Korean content in the UK.

Under a memorandum of understanding, the three organisations will host a series of K-drama screening and cultural events in London in October, collectively titled Curated Korea 2026.

The events will showcase different aspects of contemporary Korean culture, spanning screen, literature and food, through screenings, books and conversations with creators from October 1 to 16.

Sebastian Kim, head of the content distribution business unit at CJ ENM, said: “The UK is an important market for Korean content, and we see tremendous value in creating opportunities for our content to meet audiences beyond the screen.

“We hope this partnership will serve as a platform for deeper engagement with audiences and industry partners in the UK and across Europe and further broaden the reach of Korean content in the region.”
