Netflix marked its 10th anniversary in South Korea with ‘Netflix Janchi’ (Netflix Feast), a two-day fan festival held at the Oil Tank Culture Park in Seoul. The event featured a showcase of upcoming Korean projects, including ‘Tantara’, ‘Possible Love’, ‘Grand Galaxy Hotel’, ‘She, Wolf’ (formerly ‘Beauty in the Beast’), ‘All of Us Are Dead’ season 2, and a live-action ‘Solo Leveling’.

During the event, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos reflected on the platform's decade of growth in the region, noting that Korean stories have become central to global culture. Since launching in Korea in 2016, Netflix has collaborated with over 80 local production companies to release more than 200 Korean titles, many of which have appeared on the Global Top 10 charts.

The festival included appearances by prominent actors such as Song Hye-kyo, Gong Yoo, Lee Jung-jae, and Jeon Do-yeon. Beyond entertainment, Netflix highlighted its investment in the local industry, including training programs for over 6,500 creators and partnerships with 122 local entities for localization and accessibility services.
